Cover:
Gene delivery of low-molecular-weight caldesmon (l-CaD) protects cytoskeletal cell membrane integrity against
adenoviral infection independently of myosin ATPase and actin assembly. Human l-CaD was expressed in avian fibroblast
DF-1 cells, a spontaneously immortalized but nontransformed cell line null for l-CaD, using calcium phosphate coprecipitation
at a multiplicity of infection of 200. Colocalization of human l-CaD with avian microfilaments was determined using
immunofluorescence imaging. Cells were coimmunostained with a mouse IgG anti-l-CaD primary antibody, an Oregon
Green-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody, and Texas red phalloidin to visualize l-CaD and microfilaments,
respectively. Images were obtained using FITC and rhodamine filters at ×100 magnification. Images depicting l-CaDstained
cells (green) and actin-stained cells (magenta) from the same field of view were then overlaid as shown to display
colocalization (white- or lighter magenta-colored filaments). See related article by Haxhinasto K, Kamath A, Blackwell K,
