Figure 4From: Viral vectors based on bidirectional cell-specific mammalian promoters and transcriptional amplification strategy for use in vitro and in vivoSpecificity of the transcriptional amplification strategy based on synthetic bidirectional SYN (A) and GfaABC1D (B) promoters as demonstrated by immunostaining for neuronal antigen NeuN and glial antigen GFAP. LV-mCMV/SYN-EGFP (A) and LV-mCMV/GfaABC1D-EGFP (B) were stereotaxically injected into the rat hypoglossal motor nucleus at the dose of 1 × 106 IU viruses (n = 3). Tissues were collected 7 days after lentivirus injection. Frozen coronal transverse sections were used for NeuN and GFAP immunostaining.Back to article page
