Figure 4. RVFV-6 binds to cells independent of RVFV GnGc expression.

Vero E6 cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing RVFV GnGc. Forty-eight h later, either the biotin-labeled RVFV-6 peptide or the biotin-labeled RVFV-6sc peptide was added to the cells followed by washing with PBS. Cells were fixed, and peptide binding was identified using an anti-biotin antibody conjugated to Texas Red. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).
