Characterisation of HIV-1 Gag(i)mEOS2 wild type and mutants expressed in Jurkat T cells. (a) Schematic representation of HIV-1 WT Gag(i)mEOS2 and derivatives used in this study. (b) Western blot analysis of HIV-1 WT Gag(i)mEOS2 and mutant proteins expressed in Jurkat T cells (“cellular extract”), used for live PALM analysis, and the corresponding purified VLPs (“VLP”). Western blots are revealed with an anti-CAp24 antibody. Images of the full-length Western blots are presented in SI (Fig. S1). (c) Quantification of WT Gag(i)mEOS2 and mutant VLP production efficiency in transfected Jurkat T cells relative to total Gag protein (mean ± C.I. of 4 to 6 independent experiments). (d) Cell viability (relative to the total number of transfected cells) and protein expression of Gag(i)mEOS2 and mutants in Jurkat T cells using flow cytometry (mean ± C.I. of 3 independent experiments, see statistics section in Methods for detailed explanation). (e) Global fluorescence intensity (F.I.) of Gag(i)mEOS2 transfected Jurkat T cells as measured by flow cytometry for each condition, as indicated.
