FIG. 3.
Induction of IL-2Rα and IL-2 expression upon HIV infection. (A) Immunoblot analysis of total cell lysates from PBMCs (lane 1), activated PBMCs (lane 2), activated and HIV-1-infected PBMCs (lane 3), uninfected CEM-GFP cells (lane 4), and NL4.3-infected CEM-GFP cells (lane 5) using anti-IL-2Rα (upper panel) and anti-actin (lower panel). (B) RT-PCR analysis of PBMCs (lane 1), activated PBMCs (lane 2), activated and HIV-1-infected PBMCs (lane 3), uninfected CEM-GFP cells (lane 4), and NL4.3-infected CEM-GFP cells (lane 5) using primers specific for IL-2 (upper panel) and human GAPDH (hGAPDH, lower panel).
