Expression of E2 in AdE2 infected C-33A cells. C-33A cells were infected with 500 moi of AdE2 or Ad-empty; 48 hours post-infection RNA was extracted from both cultures and also from non-infected cells (N.I.), cDNA was synthesized and PCR performed to detect the HPV16 E2 ORF. E2 was efficiently expressed in AdE2 infected C-33A cells; a comparison with GAPDH expression indicates the high E2 expression in those cells.
