Figure 4. Impact of exchanging core promoter or just nucleotide positions 1633/1635/1636/1652 between B2 and C2 clones on HBV RNA transcription, DNA replication, and core protein expression.

Figure 4

The name above the line indicates the original clone and their genotype. The name below indicates the source of core promoter. P1: G1633A/A1635G/A1636T/G1652A. P1′: A1633G/G1635A/T1636A/A1652G. CP: core promoter. Huh7 cells transiently transfected with dimeric HBV DNA constructs were harvested 3 days later. (A) Northern blot of HBV RNAs using GAPDH as a loading control. (B) Southern blot of replicative DNA; (C) Western blot of core protein with GAPDH serving as a loading control.
