HTLV-1 Rex and DLC2 co-localize in nucleolar foci. (A) HeLa cells were transfected with expression vectors for Rex1-GFP and Flag-DLC2 as indicated. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were labeled with anti-flag M2 mouse antibody followed by alexa546-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody. Cells were stained with the far-red DNA marker DRAQ5 and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Merge corresponds to the simultaneous acquisition of all three fluorochromes. (B) Fluorescent intensities were plotted along the red line segments. The green and orange lines in the profile correspond to the relative intensities of GFP and Alexa 546.
