−794 CATT5–8 length-dependent manner in human monocytes.
Cultured human THP-1 monocytes were transfected with MIF promoter/luciferase reporter fusion plasmids bearing 0, 5, 6, 7, and 8 CATT repeats and infected with WNV in vitro for 48 hrs prior to assessment of luciferase activity. Methods follow ref; (10). Data are means ± SD for 4 determination. * p< 0.05, ** p< 0.01 for comparisons to 5-CATT.
