FIG. 5.

Viral protein (adenoviral hexon) expression and viral copy number analysis, a At day 5 following viral injection, expression of adenovirus hexon was assessed by immunostaining with FITC-labeled anti-hexon polyclonal antibody (counterstained with DAPI). Staining and sections were performed in at least two independent experiments. Green: adenovirus hexon protein; blue: nucleus (original magnification; ×60). b Adenoviral DNA copy number analysis performed by RT-PCR. There was no significant difference in viral replication observed between the Ad5 Wt vector and the Cox2 promoter-controlled virus. Error bars represent standard deviation
