Figure 9From: Human T-cell leukemia virus type-I Tax induces the expression of CD83 on T cellsNF-κB-dependent activation of the CD83 promoter by Tax1. Jurkat cells were transfected with either Tax1, Tax2B, or its mutant plasmid along with the wild-type CD83 promoter reporter plasmid, cultured for 48 h, and then assayed for luciferase activity. The activities of the Tax expression plasmids utilized were confirmed based on their ability to induce cognate transcription factors under our experimental conditions. The results shown are the mean ± SE after normalization based on protein content.Back to article page
