FIG 5.
HTLV-1 infection of MDDCs and activated primary autologous lymphocytes. Primary activated lymphocytes (A) or autologous MDDCs (B) obtained from 21 different blood donors were incubated with biofilm (circles), concentrated supernatants ([virus]) (squares) or supernatant (Sup) (diamonds) for 3 days. Genomic DNA was extracted and real-time PCR performed. Data were normalized according to the p19gag amount present in each viral preparation used to infect the target cells. Results were plotted for each blood donor. Lines indicate experimental duplicates using donors 12 and 30 or a triplicate using donor 24.
