Figure 8From: Reverse genetic characterization of the natural genomic deletion in SARS-Coronavirus strain Frankfurt-1 open reading frame 7b reveals an attenuating function of the 7b protein in-vitro and in-vivoInduction of apoptosis by recombinant coronaviruses rSCV and r7bΔTMD. Vero FM cells were infected with rSCV or r7bΔTMD at an MOI of 5. Cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP-1 at 60 and 72 hours post infection was analyzed by Western Blot analysis.Back to article page
