Fig 2. IAV inhibits IL-29-induced STAT1 phosphorylation in A549 cells.

Fig 2

(A) A549 cells were treated with IL-29 at final concentration of 3, 6, 12, 25, and 50 ng/ml for 45 min, followed by immunoblotting with indicated antibodies. (B, C) A549 cells infected with WSN (MOI = 1) for 15 h (WSN+) or non-infected (WSN-) were stimulated with human IL-28A (B) or IL-29 (50 ng/ml) (C) for indicated time. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting using indicated antibodies. (D) Levels of phosphorylated STAT1 in (C) were quantitated by densitometry, and normalized to STAT1 expression and control β-actin levels. In each experiment, the highest level of STAT1 phosphorylation is 100. Plotted are the average levels from three independent experiments. The error bars represent the S.E. (E) A549 cells were infected with WSN (MOI = 1), lysed at the 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 h p.i., and analyzed by Western blotting using indicated antibodies. (F) A549 cells were either stimulated by supernatant (SN) culture medium from IAV-infected cells in (E) or infected with WSN for 1 h, followed by Western blotting with indicated antibodies.
