Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of dominant negative Rab GTPases on ABLV G-mediated viral entry. HEK293T cells expressing dsRed-tagged WT and DN Rab5, Rab7, and Rab11were infected with maxGFP encoding rVSV that express ABLVp G, ABLVs G, or VSV G at a MOI = 3 for 8 hrs or with rVSV that expresses EboGP at a MOI = 15 for 20 hrs and then analyzed as described in Figure . Infection of all cells was assessed. Under these conditions, the chosen MOIs yielded 40-50% virus-infected cells in controls. Results are expressed as percent virus-infected cells relative to that of WT Rab controls and represent 3 independent experiments; error bars are SEM. (A) Rab5. (B) Rab7. (C) Rab11. **, p < 0.0001; *, p < 0.005.
Article Snippet: DsRed-tagged Rab7 wild-type (WT) (plasmid #12661) and DN (T22N; plasmid #12662), DsRed-tagged Rab11 WT (plasmid #12679) and DN (S25N; plasmid #12680) [ ], and mRFP-tagged Rab5 WT (plasmid #14437) [ ] were purchased from Addgene, Cambridge, MA.
