Figure 7. Biological activity of SGIV miRNAs.

Figure 7

(A) Amplification curves derived from three indicated recombinant PLL3.7-miR vectors. (B) Biological activity of viral miRNAs examined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The sensor plasmid bearing four repeats complementary to each miRNA in its 3′ UTR of Renilla reporter gene was co-transfected into FHM cells, along with the indicated miRNA-expressing vector. The cells co-transfected by pLL3.7-SV40-miR-S1 and the corresponding sensor plasmid were used as positive controls. After transfection for 48 h, samples were harvested and dual luciferase activities were validated. Data are expressed as a ratio to negative controls with SDs, and the significant differences are indicated with * at p<0.05 or ** at p<0.01.
