Vpr reduces elevation of HSP27 induced by heat treatment. (A) Western blot analysis of HEK293-262 cells carrying muristerone A-inducible vpr. Cells were treated (vpr-on) or not (vpr-off) with muristerone A, then treated at 43°C for 30 min and analyzed by Western blotting at indicated time intervals after heat shock (HS). (B) Quantification of Western blot analyses in panel A by densitometry; * statistical significance at the level of P < 0.05.
