Fig. 4. Phosphorylation of STAT1
by intracellular IFN
is independent
of the IFN
C-terminal NLS. WISH cells, untreated (lane 1) or treated
with an empty vector control (lanes 2), a vector expressing non-secreted
IFN
(lanes 3) or a vector expressing non-secreted IFN
with a
mutated NLS (lanes 4) were allowed to grow for 8 hours. Proteins from whole
cell extracts were electrophoresed and probed with an antibody to
phospho-STAT1 (upper panel). Filter was stripped and re-probed with an
antibody to STAT1
(lower panel). Detection was by
chemiluminescence.
