Figure 6

MDM were infected with BaL pseudotyped virus in the presence of (A) trypomastigotes or (B) TcSn or VSV-G pseudotyped virus in the presence of (C) trypomastigotes or (D) TcSn, overnight. Single viral infections with both pseudotypes were performed as control. DNA was isolated and early (R-U5) and late (U5-gag) transcripts were quantified by real-time PCR 24 h p.i. Results are expressed as an n-fold difference with respect to the calibrator (x Cal) ± SD of infection duplicates. Results are representative of 3 independent experiments performed with cells from different donors. * p<0.05.
