Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. (A) Formation of stable cell lines expressing HVS-GFP-BAC or HVS-GFP-APC5. SW480 cells were infected with HVS-GFP-BAC or HVS- GFP-BAC-APC5 viruses and then expanded through routine tissue culture in the presence of hygromycin (B) in order to remove any non-fluorescing cells. GFP fluorescence was observed in these stable cell lines throughout the 8-week time course. (B) Episome rescue studies were performed on SW480HVSAPC cells and analysed via I-ppo-I restriction digest and PFGE. These results show that the vectors were stably maintained in an episomal state for 8 weeks. However this does completely rule out the possibility of some level of genome integration.
