ECTV induces syncytia regardless of A56 or K2 expression. A) Co-infection of HeLa cells with ECTV and VACV-WR. Cells were infected with either ECTV (a) VACV-WR (b), or co-infected with both viruses in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:10 (c and d respectively). 24 hours post infection cells were fixed and stained. B) Co-transfection-infection of VACV-WR A56 and ECTV in HeLa cells. Cells were infected with ECTV at MOI = 1 and transfected with pBS-A56R-GFP as described in Materials and Moethods. 24 hpi cells were fixed and stained for GFP (green), ECTV (red) and nuclei (DAPI).
