FIG. 5.
Reentry into the cell cycle results in loss of expression for class I IN mutants. (A) FIV vector. The percent LacZ expression over time is shown. Growth-arrested CrFK and HT1080 cells were treated with 15 μg of aphidicolin/ml 24 h before transduction. Arrested and dividing cells were transduced with RT-normalized stocks of IN mutant (D66V/D118A) and IN intact FIV lacZ vector at an MOI of 5. (B) HIV-1 vector. For comparison, arrested and dividing cells were also transduced with RT-normalized stocks of IN mutant (D64N/D116N) and IN intact HIV-1 lacZ vector at an MOI of 5. Percentages of cells expressing the lacZ transgene were measured for 3 weeks by fixing and staining them with X-Gal. Bars represent standard deviations of triplicate experiments.
