FIG. 3.

Differential RNA expression of selected candidate genes. The RNA expression of selected genes was analyzed by Northern blotting, comparing RNAs from virus-treated cells (V) and untreated cells (C). Hybridizations were first performed with ³²P-labeled specific probes, and the blots were stripped and rehybridized with an actin probe as a control for the total amounts of RNA. For all genes, specific signals and corresponding actin expression (only shown for A14) were quantified and were used to calculate a stimulation index (see Table 3). Northern blot experiments were also performed for VHSV-induced ESTs B305, B88, B143, and B225.
