Silence of TNF-R2 by lentivirus transfection in the HPMECs. 20 μL/well of lentivirus with a titre of  TU/mL was added to the HPMEC suspension in a 6-well cell culture plate and cultured for 24 h. (a) The expression of the GFP lentivirus reporter gene was observed by fluorescence microscopy, and cellular morphology was observed with bright field microscopy. (b, c, d) The transfection rate was determined by flow cytometry, PCR, and Western blot. Flow cytometry determination of lentivirus transfection efficiency was 90%. PCR showed interference with an efficiency of 78%, and Western blot results showed interference with an efficiency of 77%.
