For protein electroporation assays, E. coli-expressed recombinant, purified Tax was electroporated as described previously (26).
Protein transfection. Lymphocyte (CEM [12D7]) cells were grown to the mid-log phase of growth and processed for protein electroporation as described previously (26), with the modification that cells were electroporated at 230 V and plated in 10 ml of complete RPMI 1640 medium for 18 h prior to harvest.
