| pRSVH2O | pRSV5E1Ac | pRSVJF12d | |
| GAL4 DBD | 104 ± 7.8 | 111 ± 13 | 106 ± 6.6 |

One microgram of an E1A expression plasmid (pRSVH2O [empty vector], pRSV5E1A, or pRSVJF12), 1 μg of a GAL4-Pax4 chimera expression plasmid (pcDNA, GAL4 DBD, GAL4–Pax4 232–349, GAL4–Pax4 232–314, or GAL4–Pax4 278–349), 2 μg of (GAL4)4TKLuc, and 1 μg of pEFBOSβ-Gal were transiently transfected into CHO-K1 cells. The data are presented as activity relative with that obtained in cells transfected with the empty vector (pcDNA3), arbitrarily set at 100.
Structure is illustrated in Fig. 8.
