(a) P40tax mRNA expression in BALF cells of HTLV-I positive DPB patients. The lower band (145 bp) shows p40tax and the upper band (508 bp) represents GAPDH. All patients’ BALF cells expressed p40tax mRNA. M: marker. (b) Correlation of p40tax mRNA expression level and CD3+/CD25+ lymphocytes in BALF. The percentage of CD3+/CD25+ lymphocytes increased with higher expression of p40tax mRNA in BALF of HTLV-I positive patients. However, the correlation between the two parameters was not significant (r = 0·498, P = 0·059).
