TABLE 1

Transfection efficiency and fluorescence intensity of GFP-fused chimeras

HeLa cells were transfected with the GFP-fused chimeras; after 24 h, cells were resuspended and analyzed by flow cytometry for transfection efficiency and construction expression rate. The calculated Vmax values (obtained from Supplemental Figure 2) were normalized to the fluorescence intensity values. Fluorescence intensity is expressed in arbitrary units. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. of three experiments carried out on different days on different batches of cells.
