Fig. 7. Correlation between the HTLV-II proviral load in PBMCs and the MIP-1 secretion in ex vivo cultures. / HTLV-II copy number was evaluated by competitive PCR on 1 × 105 cells (horizontal axis). Median levels of MIP-1α (A), MIP-1β (B), and RANTES (C) secreted by IL-2–stimulated PBMCs from mono–HTLV-II–infected and HIV-1/HTLV-II–coinfected patients are shown. Median values represents the chemokine concentrations (vertical axis) observed by multiple determinations.
