Effect of HCMV gB on caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax and TGF-β expression. (A) Apoptosis-associated protein caspase-3, caspase-9, Bax and Bcl2 were not altered by HCMV gB transfection, while TGF-β was inhibited by HCMV gB. (B) Histogram shows the means of three independent experiments (n=3; mean; SE). Bcl2, B-cell lymphoma 2; Bax, Bcl-2-associated X protein; TGF-β, transforming growth factor β; HCMV, human cytomegalovirus; NC, negative control; gB, glycoprotein B: IB, immunoblotting.
