ADAR and viral infectious disease: As in Jurkat,ADAR1 expression in PBLs was associated with an increased luciferase activity(Figures 2D and E compare lane 2 vs. 4).To control that luciferase activity was linked to viral infection and not apassive Tax transfer from donor to target cells, we performed a series of controlexperiments where PBLs were treated or not with AZT, an inhibitor of reversetranscription.
