HCV NS5B activation of IFN-beta promoter through TLR3. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with pCXN2-HA-NS5B, pGL3-p125luc, and siRNA TLR3 expression vectors. The normalized luciferase activities were calculated by assigning a value of 1 to the levels of activity of cells that were transfected with the empty vector. *P < 0.05
