FIG. 7.
Transcription levels of bFGF and VEGF genes in 106 infected and uninfected keratinocytes. (A) bFGF. Lanes: 1 and 3, two parallel cultures of previously KSHV/HHV8-infected keratinocytes, 3 months after the infection; 5, normal primary keratinocytes; 2, 4, and 6, controls with no RT; 7, primers with no template. (B) VEGF. Lanes: 1 and 2, previously KSHV/HHV8-infected keratinocytes in culture for 3 months; 3, normal primary keratinocytes; 4, primers with no template; 5, positive control (BC-3 cells). No differences in transcription were seen.
