Table 3. Immunoprecipitating RISCs from BJAB cells that express BART miRNAs constitutively.
Fold Enrichment of miRNAs in RISCs* | |||
miRNA | Cell | Anti-GST | Anti-Ago2 |
miR-150 | BJAB Empty | 0.2 | 536 |
BJAB BARTs | 0.2 | 1052 | |
BART10 | BJAB Empty | 1.3 | 2.1 |
BJAB BARTs | 2.1 | 869 |
Fold enrichment of miRNAs was normalized to the amount of miRNAs in input.
Expression levels of cellular miR-150 and EBV’s miRBART10 were measured by stem-loop RT-PCR in BJAB BARTs and BJAB Empty RNAs immunoprecipitated with either anti-Ago2 or anti-GST antibody. Fold enrichment in each experiment was normalized to the Input sample. miR-150 is enriched in α-Ago2 immunoprecipitates in both BJAB BARTs and BJAB Empty cell lines, whereas BART10 is only enriched in immunoprecipitates of BJAB BARTs cells, as anticipated.
