Fig 2. Small modifications in Bet do not affect particle release but may affect FFV titers.

Fig 2

A) Schematic representation of epitope replacements in Bet. Conserved motifs are given schematically as black boxes numbered according to [58]. Modifications based on sequence similarity are marked as “sim” and modifications based on position are marked as “end”. Original protein sequences are shown in black; modifications in red. Epitope sequences are underlined. B) CrFK and C) KE-R cells were infected with virus-containing supernatants harvested from 293T cells transfected with modified and wild-type proviruses. Supernatants were passaged onto uninfected cells every two days. Viral titers were determined by titration on FeFAB cells. Cells were mock-infected with supernatant from pcDNA-transfected cells as a negative control. Titers are presented as mean values of three independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation of mean values.
