![Figure 1. Distribution of baseline HTLV-1 proviral load levels among 1218 asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers. (A) Scatter plot of raw data of proviral load (left) and the vertical box and whiskers plot (right): the box delineates 25th percentile (0.29 copies/100 periopheral blood mononuclear cells [PBMCs]), median (1.60 copies/100 PBMCs), and 75th percentiles (4.54 copies/100 PBMCs), and the whiskers delineate the minimum (0 copies/100 PBMCs) and maximum (55.8 copies/100 PBMCs). (B) Scatter plot of square-root transformed values of the raw proviral load (left) and the vertical box and whiskers plot (right): the box delineates 25th percentile (0.54 copies/100 PBMCs), median (1.26 copies/100 PBMCs), and 75th percentiles (2.13 copies/100 PBMCs), and the whiskers delineate the minimum (0 copies/100 PBMCs) and maximum (7.47 copies/100 PBMCs). (C) The frequency of participants in the quartile distributions of proviral load. Q1 indicates quartile 1 (< 25th percentile); Q2, quartile 2 (25th percentile to median); Q3, quartile 3 (median to 75th percentile); Q4: quartile 4 (> 75th percentile); Sqrt, square-root transformation; and N, number of participants.](https://ash.silverchair-cdn.com/ash/content_public/journal/blood/116/8/10.1182_blood-2009-12-257410/4/zh89991055450001.jpeg?Expires=1724971646&Signature=cABCyia6ubY1RUjlomrNEX2-~z5Ooih92Nnb-BDd5q3M4D5~55gGI-NY9sibCyCErvVisRWAvtTIF8YFY3BqlG5lwibgUEeGaAYVxuQVGUWmx9G4ijOQl5ghbis8EeoAPxjBvSAyPRhHvcDADLNBuA~c9ED9Wyyiigwz16laO3u5t5xwMuoz~hoIZuwNKqCtGMkGgMeA~2Ffg97kWwlgEpRRyu-j1FuGvOspDXhsBdZzvZamnlpiMK-e97zg3nDH06FrGSiFHXqGyszRYwR5479eYJxUnaRCD7ZVSaGrUEy8LxGdq42HYvnoKYxNupBwTezMobPIxF1K5eh24alvzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA)
