The transactivator Tat protein represents a pivotal factor for the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). In this report, we describe a flow cytometry procedure designed to quantify the intracellular content of Tat protein in Jurkat CD4+ T lymphoblastoid cell lines, stably transfected with plasmids expressing full-length Tat protein. Various expression vectors were compared for their effectiveness to yield Tat protein in Jurkat cells, and several technical parameters were analyzed to optimize the assay. This method offers a quick and efficient approach to select stably transfected cell lines expressing different levels of specific protein.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
