RT-PCR analyses for the transcription of MCMV-IE3, MCMV-E1 and EGFP mRNA in the cerebrums infected with wild-type MCMV and rMCMVs at 7 and 11 dpi. The RT-PCR product of constitutively expressed ß-actin was used as a control. a Representative data from three independent experiment are shown. b The ratio of the intensity of the RT-PCR signal of IE3, E1 or EGFP to that of ß-actin. Mean ± SEM of 3 mouse cerebrums in each experimental group are shown (wild-type MCMV, white bar; rMCMV1373, gray bar; rMCMV448, black bar). *p < 0.01 vs. corresponding rMCMV1373-infected cerebrum at 11 dpi by an unpaired 2-tailed Student’s t-test
