Figure Lengend Snippet: Assessment of HTLV-1 susceptibility of human primary cells in the cell-free infection model ( A ) Susceptibility of cells constituting the blood-placental barrier (HVT, HVMF, HPVEC, and HUVEC) and PBMCs to HTLV-1 in the cell-free infection model. The PVLs were analyzed at 48 hpi, and the data are the means ± SD of three independent experiments. ( B ) Relative expression of gag/pol and env , tax/rex , and HBZ mRNAs at 48 hpi were evaluated by real-time PCR in immortalized normal trophoblast (Sw.71), MOLT4, and Raji cells infected with HTLV-1 in the cell-free infection model. In panels A and B, asterisks represent significant differences versus the data for HVT and Sw.71, respectively (** P < 0.01 by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple-comparisons test). HVT; human villous trophoblasts, HVMF; human villous mesenchymal fibroblasts, HPVEC; human placental vascular endothelial cells, HUVEC; human umbilical vein endothelial cells, PBMC; peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Article Snippet: Immortalized normal villous trophoblast cells, Sw.71 , were purchased from Applied Biological Materials (APB, Richmond, Canada) and cultured under the manufacturer's recommended conditions.
