Upregulation of Interferon-β mRNA and Protein in Human Mesothelioma Cells After Infection with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein at an MOI of 10 for 6 hr, Measured Using Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase–Polymerase Chain Reaction, or 24 hr, Using Interferon-β Bioassay

	mRNA levels (fold change)		Interferon-β protein levels (U/ml/million cells)
Cell lines	Control	VSV.GFP infected^a	Control	VSV.GFP infected

Abbreviations: LP9, normal mesothelial cells; u/d, undetectable; VSV.GFP, vesicular stomatitis virus expressing green fluorescent protein.

^{^a}

Levels of mRNA are expressed in arbitrary units.

^{^b}

Expression levels are presented as means of triplicates with ± the coefficient of variation (standard error of the mean/mean).

^{^c}

p-Value is < 0.05 compared with LP9.
