Schematic for the retroviral expression vector. The KSHV vGPCR is expressed as part of a bicistronic RNA upstream of an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-regulated GFP reporter cassette in the BABE retroviral plasmid [34]. The proviral segment of the BABE retroviral plasmid contains long terminal repeats (LTRs) that participate in proviral replication, an encapsidation sequence (ψ), and a selectable puromycin marker. This diagram is not drawn to scale.
