CD4+CCR4+CD7- T cells as marker of ‘ATL-like’ infected and ATL cells.

<p>Bar column plots showing the absolute frequency and relative of CD4+CCR4+CD7- (A & B) and non CCR4+CD7- CD4+T cells in AC, patients with HAM and ATL showed highly significant increased frequency of CD4+CCR4+CD7- T cells in patients with ATL compared to AC and HAM. The bar represents median values. Statistical analysis: Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn post-test, 95% confidence interval and Wilcoxon signed rank test. C) XY scatters plots showing significant positive correlation of PVL with relative and absolute frequency of CD4+CCR4+CD7- T cells. The line represents linear regression line with rho and R for Spearman and linear regression correlate respectively. * denotes p<0.05, ** denotes p<0.01, *** denotes p<0.001.
