Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Sequence alignment of the SD consensus , HPV49 SD217 wt, SD217 mt, and codon-optimized (co) E6 sequences. ( B ) qPCR analysis of unspliced E6 transcripts using polyA + -enriched RNA isolated from C33A cells transfected with pSG HPV49 3xHA E6 ( E6 ), pSG HPV49 3xHA E6 SD217 mt (E6 SD217 mt), or pSG HPV49 3xHA E6co (E6 co) plasmids. n = 5, statistical significance was determined by a ratio-paired t-test (*** P < 0.01). ( C ) Immunoblot analysis of C33A (left panel) or NHK (right panel) transfected with the empty vector or expression vectors for 3xHA-tagged wt E6, E6 co, or E6 SD217 mt is shown below. E6 was detected with an anti-HA antibody, and HSP90 was used as a loading control. In the right panel, a pre-stained protein marker ( M ) is shown.
Article Snippet: PMSCV-puro HPV49 E7 is based upon pMSCV-puro (Clontech), and the HPV49 E7 sequence was inserted between the BglII and EcoRI restriction sites.
