Effect of IN mutants on viral infection in dividing and nondividing C8166 T cells. To test the effect of different IN mutants on HIV-1 infection in CD4+ T cells, dividing (panel A) and non-dividing (aphidicolin-treated, panel B) C8166 T cells were infected with equal amount of VSV-G pseudotyped IN mutant viruses (at 5 cpm/cell). For evaluation of the effect of different IN mutants on HIV-1 envelope-mediated infection in CD4+ T cells, dividing C8166 T cells were infected with equal amount of HIV-1 envelope competent IN mutant viruses (at 10 cpm/cell) (panel C). After 48 hours of infection, HIV-1 DNA-mediated luciferase induction was monitored by luciferase assay. Briefly, the same amount (106 cells) of cells was lysed in 50 ul of luciferase lysis buffer and then, 10 μl of cell lysate was subjected to the luciferase assay. Error bars represent variation between duplicate samples and the data is representative of results obtained in three independent experiments.
