Levels of tax/rex mRNA in HTLV-1-infected cells were higher in bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BALC; ▪) than peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC; □). Ratios between tax/rex mRNA levels (Units—shown in Fig. 1) and virus load were compared between PBMC and BALC of four carriers and four HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) patients who expressed tax/rex mRNA.
