Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Representative transmission electron micrographs of gp120-VLP particles. Original scale bar 100 nm. ( B ) Culture media of transfected HEK-293T cells (cm) with different constructs, as indicated, and the corresponding clarified samples (cs) containing the VLPs or the LVPs generated, were analyzed by western blot with anti-p24, and -gp120 mAbs. The anti-p24 mAb also recognizes Pr55Gag, a precursor of p24 presents in immature particles. Molecular weight markers are indicated (kDa). ( C ) Flow cytometry analysis of VLPs (Env(-) and expressing x4-gp120) bound to latex beads in the presence of soluble human CD4, using an anti-Histidine mAb. A representative experiment is shown of 3 performed. ( D ) Representative transduction experiments using the indicated LVPs, where the reporter expression was captured using the Tecan SparkCyto reader. Upper panels show bright-field images of target HEK-293 CD4 cells. Lower panels show fluorescence signal from GFP expression in transduced cells. Images were captured with a 4× objective, using an exposure of 200ms in all cases and 80ms for control VSVG-VLPs (positive control). Env(-) LVPs were used as negative control (n=3). ( E ) Quantification of the Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) of images obtained in transduction experiments. Figure 2—figure supplement 1—source data 1.

Culture media of transfected HEK-293T cells (cm) with different constructs, as indicated, and the corresponding clarified samples (cs) containing the VLPs or the LVPs generated, were analyzed by western blot with anti-p24, and -gp120 mAbs. The anti-p24 mAb also recognizes Pr55Gag, a precursor of p24 presents in immature particles. Molecular weight markers are indicated (kDa). , panel B shows the last six lanes of these membranes reorganized to separate LVPs from VLPs. Original files for western blot analysis displayed in .
