FIG 6.

Assay of eMDM apoptosis induced by the dissipation of Δψm following infection with EIAV_DLV34 or EIAV_DLV121. (A) The fold change ratios of BAK1 and VDAC1 expression are depicted in a heat map similar to that shown in Fig. 5A. (B to D) Assays of Δψm (B), apoptosis levels (C), and caspase activity (D) in eMDMs infected with either EIAV_DLV34 or EIAV_DLV121 or mock-infected eMDMs. Significant differences between the different groups were determined using Student's t test. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Error bars represent the standard error from three independent experiments.
