Figure 6From: Caveolin-1 reduces HIV-1 infectivity by restoration of HIV Nef mediated impairment of cholesterol efflux by apoA-ICav-1 over-expression inhibits HIV-1 infectivity. MDMs were infected with AD8 or ADnefmut at an moi of 0.1 alone or in combination with Ad-Cav-1 or Ad-GFP. (A) The levels of GFP and Cav-1 expression are shown. (B) and (C) Infectious particles harvested from culture supernatants were titered and normalized. Level of infectivity was measured by infecting TZM-bl cells and subsequent luciferase assay. All experiments were performed in triplicate and results shown are mean ± SD with P values.Back to article page
