Fig. 1: Distribution of HBZ and tax mRNA signals.

a Histogram of HBZ mRNA signals. The median value of HBZ signals (/1000 ATLL cells) was 795.2 (range: 0.4–4013.1). b The median value of tax signals (/1000 ATLL cells) was 5.1 (range: 0.1–891.2). c Scatter plot of HBZ and tax mRNA signals. There was no significant correlation between HBZ and tax signals (ρ = −0.00367, P = 0.973).
