FIG 6 .
Distribution of LGTV TP21 proteins during the acute and persistent infection phases. Acutely infected cells were infected at an MOI of 10 and fixed at 72 hpi. Persistently infected cells were obtained by infection at an MOI of 0.1 and passaged upon reaching confluence. Cells were probed with an anti-M viral protein antibody, an anti-NS3 viral protein antibody, or a DyLight 488-conjugated anti-PDI antibody. (A) Acutely infected cells at 72 hpi. (B) Persistently infected cells at passage 10. (C) Persistently infected cells at passage 31. Panels show merged images as follows: I, M green and NS3 red; ii, PDI green and M red; iii, PDI green and NS3 red. In each merged-image panel, areas of coincidence are yellow. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars, 10 µm.
