In vivo effects of miR-N367. (A) Distribution of Nef positive staining cells in the subcapsular area of groups 2 or 3 mouse spleens at 2 days after infection with PFV/nef. Anti-Nef rabbit serum or normal rabbit serum was used as a primary antibody. (B) Immunofluorescence for 305 mAb positive staining cells in the subcapsular area of groups 2 or 3 mouse spleens at 2 days after infection with PFV/nef and immunoperoxidase staining by 305 mAb in cells of interfollicular area of HIV-1 uninfected human spleen and tonsillar follicle. (C) Short term body weights of PFV/nef-infected Balb/c mice. The body weights of the PFV/nef-infected mice (group 1, n = 6, solid circle), the PFV/nef-infected followed by the STYLE-luc-infected mice (group 2, n = 6, solid triangle), the PFV/nef-infected followed by the STYLE-367-infected mice (group 3, n = 8, open triangle) and the STYLE-367-infected mice (group 4, n = 6, open circles) were measured from days 0 to 5. (D) Long term body weights of PFV/nef-infected C3H/Hej mice. Treatment of each group and numbers of mice were same as (C). Bars, SD. *; p < 0.05, **; p < 0.01 (relative to group 3). (E) Immunoperoxidase staining by 305 mAb and anti-Nef rabbit serum in cells of mouse or human adipose tissue. Arrows show positively stained areas. Magnification, X 20 (A and B); X 20 and X 200 (E).
