Quantification of TRECs in HTLV-I–infected and uninfected individuals.
(A) Individuals younger than 50, (B) individuals older than 50. Genomic DNAs (200 ng) isolated from PBMCs were used for quantification of TRECs. In each sample, the copy number of RAG-1 gene was measured as the control. Copy number of TRECs is represented as the number in 105 PBMCs.
