  1. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients
  2. aHTLV-1 HBZ mRNA load = value of HBZ / value of HPRT
  3. bHTLV-1 tax mRNA load = value of tax / value of HPRT
  4. cProviral load: HTLV-1 tax copy number per cell
  5. d HBZ mRNA/DNA ratio = HTLV-1 HBZ mRNA load / Proviral load
  6. e tax mRNA/DNA ratio = HTLV-1 tax mRNA load / Proviral load
