From: Human Herpesvirus 6A and 6B inhibit in vitro angiogenesis by induction of Human Leukocyte Antigen G
HUVECs ability to form capillary-like structures on BME. HUVECs were infected with HHV-6A or HHV-6B, or transfected with plasmids coding for HHV-6 U94 gene (p-U94) or human HLA-G (p-HLA-G), or treated with the recombinant U94 (U94rec) or HLA-G (HLA-G rec) proteins. Twenty-four hours post infection/transfection, cells were cultured on BME in the presence of angiogenic factors ± anti-HLA-G antibody. Pictures were taken after 24 hours of incubation (original magnification 10X).
