The relative contributions of infectious and mitotic spread to HTLV-1 persistence
Fig 4
Occupancy class model schematic.
Singletons (clones of size 1) are produced by infectious spread (red). Proliferation (orange) results in loss from clone size class nf and entry into size class nf + 1. Death of a cell (green) results in a clone moving from size class f to size class nf—1.
