Dexamethasone and mifepristone increase retroviral infectivity through different mechanisms
Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 06/29/09
Solodushko V et al. - The authors demonstrate that mifepristone increased the susceptibility of target cells to retroviruses without increasing the viral titer of the supernatant. Dexamethasone, but not mifepristone, increased expression of delivered proteins such as GFP that are important for early identification of infected cells. Each, or both step(s), may be included in a standard protocol for retrovirus propagation and infection of target cells.
