Figure 4.
Transduction of a c-kit+ cell line is inhibited by soluble SCF. (A) Transduction of MO7e cells, as shown in Figure 3, but performed in the presence [ampho (S) and SCF-eco (S)] or absence (SCF-eco) of 100 ng/mL human recombinant soluble SCF. Data are mean values from 2 independent transductions. (B) PCR analysis of DNA isolated from transduced cells shown in panel A. Lanes 2 to 4 show transductions performed in the presence of soluble SCF. (Top) PCR amplification using EGFP primers. (Bottom) PCR amplification of the same DNA samples using IFN-α primers. Lane 1, the 100-base-pair ladder; lane 2/a, amphotropic virus; lane 3/m, mock-transduced cells; lane 4/S-e, SCF-eco virus; and lane 5/S-e, SCF-eco virus.
