From: Epstein-Barr virus Latent Membrane Protein LMP1 reduces p53 protein levels independent of the PI3K-Akt pathway

Figure 5

Dominant-negative Akt (DN-Akt) does not restore p53 protein levels. Western blot detection of LMP1, Dominant-negative Akt (DN-Akt) and p53 protein levels in U2OS cells transfected with fixed amount of LMP1 (0.5 μg) and titrated with DN-Akt (0.05 - 4.0 μg). β-actin was served as a loading control in the experiment. Representative blots were quantitated using Image J. Increasing amounts of DN-Akt (detected by anti-Akt antibodies) did not rescue reduction of p53 protein levels by LMP1.
