Figure 5From: The matrix (M) protein of newcastle disease virus binds to human bax through its BH3 domainQuantification of dead HeLa cells following transfection with various plasmid constructs. A. Percentage of dead cells only, by flow cytometry and PI staining as a result of transfection with various constructs. I. pFLAG-M-N-terminal. II. pFLAG-M-ΔBH3. III. pFLAG-M. IV. pFLAG-F. V. UV-irradiated cells. B. A histogram analysis of flow cytometry data. The number of dead cells caused by pFLAG-M transfection was always slightly higher than those from pFLAG-F transfection. Note the G0/G1 region shift in cells transfected with pFLAG-M and pFLAG-F.Back to article page
