Figure 3. Inhibition of RD-114 particle release by feline Tetherin/BST-2.

Figure 3

Both RD-114 vector (100 ng) and the expression vector for human or feline Tetherin/BST-2 containing FLAG-tag (25, 50, 100, or 200 ng) were cotransfected into 293T cells. Cells and viruses were collected at 48 h after transfection, and analyzed by Western blotting (A). The intensities of the bands for virus- and cell-associated Gag were quantified using a Fuji LAS3000 imaging system (Fuji Film) (B). The control vector (virus p28CA/virus p28CA + cellular p28CA + p68Gag) was set to 100%. Histograms represent the averages from three independent experiments (± standard deviation of the mean). (C) RD-114 viral RNA in the supernatant from cells was quantified by real-time RT-PCR.
