Fig. 3From: Roles of the highly conserved amino acids in the second receptor binding site of the Newcastle disease virus HN proteinQuantitative detection results of cell surface expression efficiency of mutant HN proteins. Cell surface expression levels were quantified by FACS analysis. a Fluorescent histograms of site-directed mutants are shown. The x-axis indicates the fluorescence intensity value that is displayed on a logarithmic scale, and the y-axis shows cell counts. The numbers below the graph represent the percentage of cells in the M2 gate compared to the total number of cells. b Histogram of the average MFI of site-directed mutants. Data were normalized to the value obtained with wt HN, which was set at 100%. Values of the MFI are expressed as a percentage. The data are the average result of three independent experiments. Student’s t test was used to calculate the P value. c Fluorescent histograms of fragment deletion or replacement mutants. d Histogram of the average MFI of fragment deletion or replacement mutants.
