Figure 1From: Human T-cell leukemia virus type I infects human lung epithelial cells and induces gene expression of cytokines, chemokines and cell adhesion moleculesDetection of HTLV-I Tax mRNA in A549 and NCI-H292 cells by RT-PCR. Both cell lines were cocultured with MMC-treated MT-2 or CCRF-CEM cells. At 3 and 5 days after cocultivation, A549 and NCI-H292 cells were harvested and then Tax mRNA expression was analyzed. Human β-actin mRNA was used as a control.Back to article page
