Methods

Cell transfection and plasmids

  • Human immature thymocytes were obtained as previously described + cells followed by negative selection using the human CD4+ T-cell enrichment cocktail according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • The Tax expression plasmid, pCMV-TaxGFP (generous gift from R. Mahieux), contains the tax coding sequence in frame with the N-terminal extremity from the gfp sequence under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter.
  • pMax-GFP was used as a GFP-control expressing vector.
