A T‐cell line (KH‐2) from a Japanese T‐cell leukemia patient with hypercalcemia has been characterized and shown to be similar in its properties to Human T‐cell leukemia virus (HTLV)‐positive T‐cell lines from T‐cell leukemia patients from different parts of the world. The HTLV isolated from the Japanese T‐cell leukemia patient with hypercalcemia belongs to the HTLV family and has properties similar to HTLV from T‐cell leukemia patients from the United States, Israel, and the Caribbean.
