Article Title: HIV-1 infection causes depletion of monocytic cells through a non-canonical cell death pathway
doi: 10.1101/2022.12.20.521186
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Tet-inducible (Tet-ON) THP-1 cells were stably transduced with a codon-optimized Gag expressing vector. Cells were stimulated with doxycycline (dox; 1 µg/ml) and Gag expression was quantified by p24 staining at 24 and 48 h after treatment. (B) As in (A), except cells and supernatants were harvested, supernatants were centrifuged to pellet virus like particles, and the resulting lysates were probed for p24 expression on a Western blot. (C) THP-1 cells were infected with Tat or Rev mutant NL43-Luc viruses. Infection and death were quantified by firefly luciferase assay and live/dead staining, respectively.
Article Snippet: To ensure that the observed cell death was not observed in a specific clone of THP-1 cells, we tested several THP-1 clones, as well as the reporter cell line THP-1 Lucia ISG (Invivogen) in their undifferentiated state.
