Figure 6. Effects of RIG-I and MDA5 abrogation on RV replication in HBECs.

Figure 6

HBECs were transfected with siRNA specific for RIG-I, MDA5 or control siRNA, infected with RV1B or RV16 and vRNA determined by PCR at 24 h (A) or RV release by titration at 48 h (B). BEAS-2B cells were transfected with 0.5 µg RIG-IC or pEF-BOS control, and RV16 vRNA (C) and virus release (D) determined. mRNA data was generated from 5 independent experiments utilizing 3 independent HBEC donors, 2 experiments per donors 1,2 and a one experiment for donor 3; and 4 independent experiments for BEAS-2B cells.
