The distribution plots of HBZ-SI mRNA load in different sample groups. Among sero-negative controls, asymptomatic carriers (ACs), patients with ATL, ATL patients in remission, and HTLV-1-related cell lines, there is statistical difference in the median (horizontal bar) among ACs (0.2 × 103) and patients withATL (6.0 × 103) and cell lines (7.5 × 105) (p < 0.01).
