Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro stability of mRNA vaccine . In vitro stability of gB-RB1B ( left ) and pp38-RB1B ( right ) mRNA molecules was analyzed within 6 to 32 h post-transfection in DF-1 cells. Five hundred thousand cells were seeded per well in a six-well plate in EMEM complete medium (10% FBS+ 1% pen-strep). Cells were transfected with 1 μg mRNA encoding gB and pp38 using Lipofectin for 4 h in the optimum medium (cells in the C+ group were infected with MDV). At 6-, 12- and 32 h post-transfection, cells were washed with PBS and collected following trypsin treatment for RNA extraction. Expression of gB and pp38 was analyzed by real-time PCR.
