Figure 5.
Expression levels of the transgene mRNA in the infected HuH-7 cells. The mRNA levels are shown relative to the mRNA level of the transgene in E1L-infected cells set as 1. (a) GFP mRNA levels. The cells were infected with the EF-GFP AdVs at the indicated MOIs. The GFP mRNA levels were quantified by qPCR, n=3. (b) LacZ mRNA levels. The cells were infected with the EF-LacZ AdVs. LacZ mRNA levels are shown in the same manner as that described in (a), n=4. (c) Cre mRNAs levels. The cells were co-infected with the AFP-Cre AdVs (switch vectors) and a target vector which expressed dsRed by Cre-mediated recombination (excisional expression). The dsRed mRNA levels were quantified in the same manner as that described in (a), n=6. Error bars indicate mean±s.d; mock, HuH-7 cells without infection; target, HuH-7 cells infected with the target vector only; *P<0.05, ** P<0.01. The other representations are the same as those in Figure 1.
