Figure Lengend Snippet: Virucidal activities of MGDG and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) against FCV in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). FCV (2 × 10 5 PFU/mL) was mixed with an equal volume of 0 and 100 μg/mL MGDG or NaClO in the presence of 0%, 2%, and 5% BSA and incubated for the indicated time at 37 °C. Results are expressed as the percentages of residual infectivity of MGDG-treated virus compared to the residual infectivity of the mock-treated virus control. Data are the means from independent duplicate assays.

Article Snippet: The virucidal effects of MGDG on FCV were examined in the presence of an organic substance, BSA (Nacalai Tesque), and compared with those of NaClO, which is frequently used as a disinfectant.

Article Title: The Increased Expression of Integrin ?6 (ITGA6) Enhances Drug Resistance in EVI1high Leukemia

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0030706

Figure Lengend Snippet: Higher cell adhesion ability in AML cell lines with EVI1 high expression. A . The expression of four integrin genes (ITGB1, ITGB4, ITGA4 and ITGA6), EVI1 and b-actin as a control was determined by semiquantitative RT-PCR in three different EVI1 low and EVI1 high AML cell lines and two primary AML cells lines with high EVI1 expression (PT9 and PT11). B . Six AML cell lines with low or high EVI1expression, as indicated in the figure, were incubated in culture medium on BSA, collagen, fibronectin, laminin or matrigel-coated plates; the percentage of the total number of incubated cells that adhered to the plates was designated as the binding activity (%). Each experiment was performed in triplicate, and the experiments were independently repeated at least three times. The data are given the as the mean ± standard error (S.E). The statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-test (* p
