FIG. 5.

Detection of viral transcripts and genomic RNA with either rabies virus N or G probe. Total RNA was prepared from BSR cells infected with L16, L16A (A), L16D (D), or L16E (E) and was hybridized with the N probe (left) or the G probe (right). The respective mRNAs, the genomic RNA, and the possible RT transcripts and DI RNA are also indicated. The total RNA was also hybridized with a β actin probe (bottom). The amounts of N and G transcripts and genomic RNA products in relation to those for the wt virus were quantitated by densitometry.
