(A and B) Resting CD4 T cells or CD4 T cells stimulated with α-CD3/CD28 for 3 days in the absence or presence of mTORi pretreatment were either mock infected (A) or infected with HIV-1-VSV (B) for 4 h. Then, cells were fixed and stained with α-pan-tubulin and α-acetyl-Lys (40) α-tubulin antibodies.
(C) Quantitation of fluorescence signal intensity from images in (A) and (B). Data derived from independent experiments using CD4 T cells from 3 different donors. Means and SDs of data are shown. The significance of differences was determined by 2-tailed Student’s t tests. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.005.
