From: Induction of galectin-1 expression by HTLV-I Tax and its impact on HTLV-I infectivity
Comparative analysis of galectin-1 expression in different uninfected T cell lines and HTLV-I chronically-infected cell lines. Galectin-1 mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR analyses on total RNA isolated from non-infected (A2.01, CEM-T4, HSB-2, JurkatE6.1, Molt-4, PM1, and Sup T1) and chronically HTLV-I-infected cells (C8166-45, C91-PL, MJ, MT2 and S1T). PCR products were separated by electrophoresis on 1.5% agarose gels. Expression of β-actin mRNA served as an internal control for normalization.
