Arithmetic mean of triplicates with error bars representing SD. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, with *** p < 0.001

Article Snippet: Human carcinoma lung epithelial cell line A549 (ATCC, CCL-185) (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in 75-cm 2 Culture Flask (Corning, New York, NY, USA) in a F-12 K culture medium (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO 2 in the HeraCell 150 incubator (Heraeus, Hanau, Germany) in accordance with the supplier’s guidelines.

Article Title: Leukemic fusion genes repress viral gene expression and expel adenovirus from persistently infected human B lymphocytes but evidence of the virus lingers behind

doi: 10.64898/2025.12.19.695471

Figure Lengend Snippet: BJAB cells were transfected with the pTARGET expression vector (Empty vector) or the same vector expressing either ETV6/RUNX1 or RUNX1/MTG8. Stable cell lines were established and selected as described in the Methods. mRNA was isolated from these cell lines 42 days after infection with Ad5dl309 and analyzed by PCR following reverse transcription. To serve as a control, RNA was isolated from A549 cells transiently expressing the same constructs as well as the leukemic cell lines UoC-B4 and Kasumi-1. (A) The TEL-H (ETV6) and AML1-G (RUNX1) primer pair are described in and yields a 294-334 bp product for the ETV6/RUNX1 fusion transcript (upper panel). (B) The AML1-A (RUNX1) and ETO-B (MTG8) primers described in yields a 395 bp PCR product for the RUNX1/MTG8 fusion transcript. RNA from infected BJAB cells transduced with ETV6/RUNX1 served as a negative control by leaving out reverse transcriptase (-RT).

Article Snippet: The human cell A549 lung carcinoma cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA).
