Determined from quantitation of radioactive proteins in SDS gels. 

b

In each experiment, 50 to 60% of DRG neurons were transfected. Analyses were then performed with 100 to 350 of the transfected neurons. Staining was with anti-MLV Gag antiserum or with anti-HIV Gag antibodies.

NA, not applicable.
