IL27, Gzma, Gzmb, Prf1, and Foxp3 gene expression by real-time PCR. Gene expression levels comparison of IL27
(A), Gzma
(B), Gzmb
(C), Prf1
(D), and Foxp3
(E) among the CT, HAC, and HAM/TSP groups. The Mann–Whitney U-test was used to evaluate differences among groups (*p≤0.05; **p≤0.01; ***p≤0.001). CT, healthy control; HAC, asymptomatic HTLV-1 carrier; HAM/TSP, HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.
