The effect of Notch1-siRNA on viral DNA replication in HeLa-S3 cells.

<p>A. Viral DNA replication was determined by real-time RT-PCR quantification of adenoviral late Hexon gene expression at 24, 48, and 72 hours after co-treatment, respectively. For comparison, the mRNA expression of Hexon at 24 hours in H101 group was arbitrarily set as 1, and β-actin was used as the internal control in the calculation. P<0.05: compared to Hexon mRNA expression of the H101 group. B. Western blot analysis of Hexon protein at 72 hours. Bar: average band density of quantified Hexon protein after normalization by the internal control β-actin. Protein expression of Hexon in H101 group was arbitrarily set as 1. *P<0.05: relative to Hexon protein expression in the H101-treated group.
