Viral promoter activities in different cell lines. The promoter activities of the CMV major immediate early promoter (CMV), the HPV16 long control region (HPV16), the HPV18 long control region (HPV18), the MCPyV early promoter (MCPyV-E), and the MCPyV late promoter (MCPyV-L) were compared in three different cell lines. Cells were transfected with 400 ng luciferase reporter plasmid and cell lysates were prepared 24 h after transfection. Luciferase activity was corrected for the protein concentration in the lysate. Each bar represent the average of three independent parallels ± standard deviation (SD). The activity of the CMV promoter was arbitrary set as 100%. Similar results were obtained in an independent experiment. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
