FIG 7.

Comparison of S/CO values between anti-HTLV-1/2 antibody-containing OF samples submitted to delayed processing at various temperatures (3°C, room temperature [RT], 37°C, and 45°C) for 24 h (24h) or 7 days (7d) and samples extracted on the day of collection. Each temperature condition was evaluated by five different paired OF specimens for 24 h and by 6 paired samples for 7 days. The horizontal dashed line indicates the S/CO at 1.00, above which samples are considered reactive. P value indicates degree of statistical significance.
