Figure 1

A. Measurement of GFP reporter activity, using Victor 3 and Opera reader, in CEMx 174-LTR-GFP CG8 cells upon HIV-1LAI infection. B. Infection of CEMx 174-LTR-GFP CG8 and HeLa-LTR-GFP cells: Opera-acquired images showed infected (Panel b and d), unlike uninfected (Panel a and c) cells, carried the GFP reporter gene. Syncytia are indicated by red circles. C. Assay validation upon antiretroviral treatment: reference drugs were tested to evaluate the assay performance using an Opera reader. CEMx 174-LTR-GFP CG8 cells infected by HIV-1LAI were treated with AZT (Panel b), nevirapine (Panel c) and saquinavir (Panel d). Images show nucleus detection in red and infected cells in green (Panel a: DMSO).
