To investigate whether the trafficking of N protein between the cytoplasm and the nucleus/nucleolus was associated with microtubules or energy dependent, the mobility of EGFP-PRRSV-N protein was compared in 3D4/31 cells incubated at 37°C in the presence and absence of nocodazole (60ng/ml nocodazole (Sigma) for 16h), a microtubule inhibitor, or incubated at 10°C. In approximately 10% of cells expressing EGFP-PRRSV-N protein fluorescence was observed in the cytoplasm, but only if imaging was adjusted so that the fluorescent signal in the nucleus/nucleolus was above the linear range (for example Fig. 8C, lower panels) . ./cache/cord-329625-hx2rsi91.txt ./txt/cord-329625-hx2rsi91.txt
