Figure 10. Detection of LC3 protein in shed EMVs containing viral protein.

Figure 10

Differentiated NPSCs transduced with adeno-LC3-GFP were infected with dsRED-CVB3 (moi = 0.1) and observed by fluorescence microscopy up to 3 days PI. (A) Transduced NPSCs (green) and viral protein expression (red) were readily observed by day 1 PI. (B) Differentiated NPSCs infected with virus showed signs of cellular blebbing by day 2 PI (white arrow). (C–D) Abundant shed EMVs were readily observed by day 3 PI. EMVs (white arrows) contained viral protein (red) and expressed a marker for autophagosomes (LC3-GFP, green). (E–F) Higher magnification of (C) and (D) showed colocalization of viral protein and LC3-GFP in shed EMVs.
