VP40 budding assay. (A) Radiolabeled cell extracts from
COS-7 cells that received no DNA (mock, lane 1), pVP40-WT (lane 2), and
pVP40-dPY (lane 3) were immunoprecipitated and analyzed by SDS/PAGE.
(B) Radiolabeled proteins released into the media
covering cells transfected with no DNA (mock, lane 1), pVP40-WT (lane
2), and pVP40-dPY (lane 3) were immunoprecipitated as above.
Immunoprecipitated proteins were quantitated using National Institutes
of Health image Version 2 software.
