Abstract
Recombinant plasmids are constructed by inserting a DNA fragment containing the env gene of adult T cell leukemia virus or a part thereof into a vector DNA. Microorganisms are transformed with the recombinant plasmid and thereafter cultured to express the peptide. The antigen polypeptide encoded by the env gene is useful for the detection and diagnosis of adult T cell leukemia.
