Table 6. Frequency of viral-cell junctions and replicative intermediates per transfected cell in serial transfers after transfection.
Transfers (1:10) | Frequency of left junctions | Frequency of right junctions | Frequency of replicative intermediates |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 2.4 × 10-4 (46)* | 7.8 × 10-5 (8) | 2.3 × 102 |
1 | 8.1 × 10-5 (7) | ND | 5.0 × 100 |
2 | 1.4 × 10-4 (12) | ND | 5.5 × 10-1 |
3 | 1.8 × 10-4 (15) | ND | 1.0 × 10-1 |
5 | 3.2 × 10-4 (106) | 1.8 × 10-4 (19) | 4.9 × 10-3 |
Transfected cells were assayed for viral-cell junctions and for viral replicative intermediates after the indicated number of transfers and outgrowth of cells. One-tenth of the total cells were subcultured at each transfer. Frequencies are expressed as copies per transfected cell. ND, not determined.
