Table 1 Relative luciferase activity of extracts from control and THC treated cells. NIH 3T3 cells co-transfected with MHV 68 ORF 50 plus CMV control (top rows of the table). BCBL-1 cells were co-transfected with the KSHV ORF 50 plus CMV control (bottom rows of the table). Data represent averages from three independent co-transfection experiments.
Treatment of NIH 3T3 cells | MHV 68 ORF 50 promoter (firefly luciferase) | CMV renilla luciferase |
|---|---|---|
DMSO | 100% +/- 14% | 100% +/- 11% |
5 μg/ml THC | 13.5% +/- 1.5% | 65.8% +/- 9% |
Treatment of BCBL-1 cells | KSHV ORF 50 (firefly luciferase) | CMV renilla luciferase |
DMSO | 100% +/- 14% | 100% +/- 3% |
5 μg/ml THC | 28% +/- 13% | 128% +/- 3% |
