Figure 2. Comparative studies of EBV reactivation induced by Dox (50 ng/ml) vs. conventional chemical method (20 ng/ml TPA plus 3 mM butyrate) in EREV8 cells.

(A) Expression kinetics of EBV Rta, BZLF1 at 6, 24, and 48 h in cells treated with indicated inducers. β-actin served as a loading control. (B)Viral particles released from Dox-treated or TPA/butyrate-treated EREV8 cells. Data are presented as means±SD from four independent PCR assays.
