![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=1735512698&Signature=TysDSE6~AJi6BfPp-Gvheslov7gyFQNWBsP4KYcc0Ja99cGYD0s8fJ0XlSsu~PW5D1nmfArOapRIGLr05WhiUzlDVEN5waBhIyca~TpByYqaxXG4S5s7KTz2Y0v4pSvWK~z-i7w-DXLbhvclyDuvgHNXaMlp8Kw1Yb50REWmTkkfFxynpICj14hakTXYA2TKqpPnnDfHys2W~CSfOGQ0ewiURYwZZuqwWVTAcQChlkDFujZTE9514yULZcLUO0FHfRG2cJ1RPMb6UzM8idmfjDTkv9Znw~b1tqGziDHgqCMd9yZL75Thbv1ZGQcqxGe7O-FK93sLCGZCiykjEjJ0ug__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA)
