Figure 1

HIV-1 viral protein R (Vpr) is expressed at mRNA and protein levels by primary astrocytes. (A) Strong Vpr mRNA expression is maintained in culture over 7 days as determined by real time RT-PCR. Relative expression versus controls lacking Vpr are presented. β-actin was used as the normalization control. (B) Vpr protein peaks at 6 hours after transfection and remains detectable for 48 hours in culture as determined by western blotting.
