Effects of increasing expression of recombinant proteins on viral translation. Cells were transfected with increasing amounts of plasmid DNA encoding the (a) NiV P gene, (c) NiV F gene, or (e) GFP gene. 48 hours post transfection, cells were harvested and analyzed by western blot. Protein expression was quantified by densitometry and normalized to actin. Following transfection, a parallel set of cells were infected with NiV at an MOI of 1 for 24 hours. Total protein was harvested from NiV infected cells and analyzed by western blot for the expression of (b) NiV N proteins or (d) and (f) NiV P proteins. Western blots were quantified by densitometry and normalized to actin. All experiments were performed in triplicate and standard deviations of the mean were calculated. Blots have been cropped to ease visualization.
