Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Immunoblot analysis of mouse CMT-93 cells infected with M1 wt, and recombinant M1-ΔE1A-G and M1-IX-G viruses using an MOI of 3. Cell lysate samples were harvested at six time points and analyzed with the indicated rabbit antibodies raised against early E1A-M1, E1B-19K-M1, intermediate protein IX-M1, and the late hexon protein-M1, plus mouse antibodies against GFP and control actin. Staining with protein IX-specific antibodies revealed a weak band corresponding to processed IX-2A (Mr 14.1 kDa), and a major form corresponding to unprocessed IX-2A-GFP (Mr 41 kDa). Staining with GFP-specific antibodies revealed two major processing forms, corresponding to processed GFP (Mr 27 kDa), and the unprocessed IX-2A-GFP, respectively. Both of these stainings gave rise to additional individual protein forms (denoted by *). (B) Mouse CMT-93 cells and (C) human M000216 cells were infected with recombinant M1-/M3-IX-G, M2-ΔE1A-G and fiber-chimeric H5-ΔE3B-CG-FK-M1 and–FK-M3 viruses at an MOI of 3. Cells were harvested at the indicated six time points and GFP intensity (upper panel) and percent infected cells (lower panel) were determined by flow cytometry. Cellular autofluorescence of uninfected cells was included as 0 h infection time point. Data represent triplicates, shown as mean ± SEM.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Flow cytometry profiles of B16, B16-mβ6, B16-mβ8, A549 and A549-hβ6 cells. Green and red histograms show β6 and β8 specific staining, respectively, and grey histograms show background staining using an isotype control. Numbers indicate MFI values of specific or control antibodies. (B, C) Virus binding and dependency on divalent ions. Detached mouse (B) and human cells (C) were incubated with control medium (not containing virus) or medium containing the indicated viruses for 1 h on ice, followed by washing and staining with primary rabbit anti-FK-M3 antibodies and secondary fluorescently labeled antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. Incubation/washing buffers were adjusted to contain either Mg 2+ /Ca 2+ , 1 mM each, 1/0.2 mM Mn 2+ /Ca 2+ , or EDTA 2.5 mM. (D) Virus-receptor antibody competition experiment. Detached cells were first incubated on ice with control medium or the indicated viruses, followed by washing and incubation with either the anti-αvβ6 antibody (CMT-93 and B16-mβ6 cells), or the αvβ8 antibody (M000216 cells). Subsequently the cells were stained with secondary fluorescently labeled antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. (E) The indicated mouse and human cells were infected with recombinant M1-/M3-IX-G, M2-ΔE1A-G and fiber chimeric H5-ΔE3B-CG-FK-M1/-FK-M3 viruses at an MOI of 3. Cells were harvested at the indicated six time points and GFP intensity (MFI) was determined by flow cytometry. Cellular autofluorescence of uninfected cells was included as 0 h infection time point. (F) For analysis of virus progeny, CMT-93, B16, B16-mβ6 and B16-mβ8 cells were infected with M1-/M3-IX-G using an MOI of 1.5. After 14 h, the cells were thoroughly washed, trypsinized and re-seeded. Virus-containing supernatant samples were collected 48 (d2) and 72 h (d3) pi and used for titration analyses. Based on the virus input, fold increases of progeny virus were calculated. For B16 cells no measurable levels of viruses were detected, which translated to a virus progeny production of less than a factor of 0.01, based on the sensitivity level of this assay. Data in (B) to (F) represent triplicates, shown as mean ± SEM. Asterisks indicate level of significance for comparison of indicated values (*, P <0.05; **, P <0.005; ***, P <0.0005).
