Fig 5. Synergistic effects of IFN-α with DUSP1 depletion against HCV.

Cells were treated with 0–10⁴ IU/mL IFN-α for 72 h. HCV RNA was measured by rqRT-PCR and normalized to β-actin and then to LV-shDUSP1-infected cells not treated with IFN. All data are representative of at least three independent experiments. **P < 0.01.
