Abstract
A leukemic T[thymus-derived]-cell line, designated as TALL-l, was established in continuous culture from the bone marrow of a patient with a leukemic phase of T-cell lymphosarcoma. TALL-l cells have T-cell properties and lack Epstein-Barr virus or its genome. The cells of TALL-l line are considered to have originated from the donor''s leukemic cells on the basis of their cytogenetic, morphological and surface features.
