What Does ADF Stand For?
ADF stands for Adult T Cell Leukemia Derived Factor
ADF, or Adult T Cell Leukemia Derived Factor, is a cytokine associated with Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), a malignancy caused by the human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). ADF plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses and has been implicated in the proliferation of malignant T-cells. Its study is significant for understanding the pathogenesis of ATLL and developing targeted therapies for affected patients.
