Figure 3From: Oncolytic adenovirus mediated Survivin knockdown by RNA interference suppresses human colorectal carcinoma growth in vitro and in vivoSW480 and LoVo cells as well as IEC cells were plated at 105 cells per 6 cm dishes and infected with ZD55-Sur-EGFP (A) or AD-Sur-EGFP (B) for 48 h (a) or 72 h (b). Then the cells were observed through a fluorescence microscope. ZD55-Sur-EGFP showed much stronger affinity to SW480 cells than AD-Sur-EGFP, but it rarely replicated in normal cells IEC at 24 h post infection. After 72 h, the cells infected with ZD55-Sur-EGFP became lysed but there was little change in the morphology of AD-Sur-EGFP infected cells. (Original magnification ×200).Back to article page
