Interestingly, in a mouse model of viral infection, we detected for the first time that the normal splicing pattern of CD200 was reversed in the lung tissue of A/J mice infected with mouse hepatitis virus strain I (MHV-1), following an increase in expression of SF2/ASF in this MHV-1 susceptible mouse strain. Two-and-a-half micrograms of siRNA, together with 10 mg of the alternative splicing construct DNA, was transfected to Daudi or SK-N cells by electroporation to detect exogenous expression pattern of CD200 following silencing SF2/ASF. As shown in Figures 3C and D, and 4A and B, expression of the full-length transcript (exon 2 inclusion) was reduced in both Daudi and SK-N cells after mutation or deletion of the ESE in exon 2. ./cache/cord-000271-812uc4w7.txt ./txt/cord-000271-812uc4w7.txt
