HTLV-1 isolated from HTLV-1-positive HuT-102 cells can infect other TCL cells. (A) Quantitative detection of HTLV-1 (rex, tax) by qRT-PCR in TCL cells. Mean ± SD, n = 3. (B) Transfection of HTLV-1-negative HuT-78 and KARPAS-299 cells by culture filtrate from HuT-102 cells. (C) Quantitative detection of HTLV-1 (rex, tax) by qRT-PCR in HTLV-1-negative and HTLV-1-infected models. HTLV-1-positive HuT-102 cells served as a positive control. Mean ± SD, n = 3. * Indicates a significant difference compared to non-infected cells, p < 0.05.
