Activation of CMV and IE110 promoters in latently infected culturesa
Reporter cassette | Stimulusef | No. of neurons countedb (% β-gal+)c |
---|---|---|
CMV>lacZd | Normal feed | 187 (2) |
TSA+ | 163 (53) | |
IE110>lacZg | Normal feed | 189 (2) |
TSA+ | 397 (18) |
Neuronal cultures 22 days after infection with 106 PFU of either CS5 or gH−TK−IE110LacZ per well. They were fixed and dually immunostained for β-gal and β-tub.
Total neurons (β-tub+) examined (two wells per data point).
Percentage of neurons showing β-gal expression.
CMV IE1 promoter-driven lacZ expression in CS5-infected wells.
Culture medium for normal feed was replaced with fresh growth medium on day 21 p.i.
Culture medium for TSA+ was replaced with fresh growth medium supplemented with 660 nM TSA on day 21 p.i.
IE110 promoter-driven lacZ expression in gH−TK−IE110LacZ-infected wells.
