Genetic expression level of the MuLV in R1A, P8A and ICR-A cell lines. (A) mRNA expression of Akv (605 bp) in R1A, P8A, and ICR-A cell lines. As a housekeeping gene GAPDH (200 bp) was used. 100 bp M: 100 bp DNA ladder marker; Zpl 2-1 and R1B (12-month-old SAMR1 brain): negative controls; P8B (12-month-old SAMP8 brain): a positive control. (B) Densitometry of Akv gene expression levels in the ICR-A, R1A and P8A cell lines. Expressed levels of MuLV in P8A cell lines were significantly higher than in R1A cell lines. *statistically significant difference (p < 0.01).
