TABLE 1.
Nuclear export of 9-kb Rev-dependent HIV-1 mRNA
Cell line | Plasmid transfected | Cytoplasmic mRNA (% of total)a |
---|---|---|
HeLa | pNL4-3 | 26 |
U251MG | pNL4-3 | 24 |
HeLa | pNL4-3Rev− | 0.8 |
U251MG | pNL4-3Rev− | 0.5 |
The percent accumulation of 9-kb HIV-1 mRNA detected in the cytoplasmic fraction relative to that in the total-cell RNA of astrocytes and HeLa cells transfected with pNL4-3 and pNL4-3Rev− (Fig. 2B and C) was determined from densitometric analysis of Northern blot pNL4-3Rev− assays.
