Table 1.

HTLV-1-infected cells polarize their MTOCs to the cell-cell junction in CD4+ T-cell conjugates. Two experiments were performed, each with fresh ex vivo CD4+ T cells from an unrelated HTLV-1-infected subject. Conjugates were allowed to form for 30 min (Subject 1) or 60 min (Subject 2), then were fixed and stained for HTLV-1 Gag p19 and tubulin alpha. Only conjugates containing two cells were counted. The figures denote the number (percentage) of cells whose MTOC was polarized to the cell-to-cell junction. Odds ratio^(a) of MTOC polarization in Gag p19+ cells, comparing the number of polarized MTOCs with (polarized + not seen) MTOCs. This table was originally published in the material accompanying reference [32].

MTOC orientation	Uninfected control subject	HTLV-1-infected subjects
		Subject 1		Subject 2
		Gag p19−	Gag p19+	Gag p19−	Gag p19+
Polarized %	79 (18.7)	85 (25.9)	163 (58.2)	45 (22.0)	59 (53.2)
Not polarized %	322 (76.3)	217 (66.2)	111 (39.6)	160 (78.0)	52 (46.8)
Not seen	21 (5)	26 (7.9)	6 (2.1)	0 (0.0)	0 (0.0)
Total	422 (100.0)	328 (100.0)	280 (99.9)	205 (100.0)	111 (100.0)
Odd ratio a (95% confidence interval) χ2 =(P<<0.001)	–	3.98 (2.83 – 5.61) χ2 = 63.9 (P<<0.001)		4.02 (2.45–6.64) χ2 = 30.4 (P<<0.001)
		Subject 1 and subject 2 combined: 4.07 (3.07 – 5.39) χ2 = 99.0 (P<<0.001)
