Nuclear Translocation of IRF-7 and IRF-3 in IRF-8−/− DCs.
A: IRF-8+/+ and −/− DCs were transduced with a vector for IRF-7-GFP and stimulated without (control) or with NDV for 1 h. Cells were fixed and stained with anti-GFP antibody and counterstained with Hoechst 33342 for DNA.
B: IRF-8+/+ and IRF-8−/− DCs were infected with NDV for 1 h as above and nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were tested for indicated proteins by immunoblot analysis. c-cbl and YY1 were used to monitor the quality of fractionation.
C: IRF-8+/+ and −/− DCs were stimulated with or without NDV and immunostained with antibody for endogenous IRF-3 as in A.
D: IRF-8+/+ DCs stimulated with NDV for 7 h and whole cell extracts were tested for IRF-8 by immunoblot.
