Fig 6. The expression levels of IFN-β and IFN-responsive genes in NDV-infected A549 and DF1 cells.

Fig 6

(A) The IFN-β protein levels in A549 cells stimulated by NDV were assayed by ELISA so as to determine its effect to IFN signaling. (B) The IFN-responsive genes IFIT1, ISG15, Mx1, and IFN-β were further quantified by Real-time PCR in V-deficient rZJ1-VS and wt ZJ-1-infected A549 cells. (C) IFN-responsive genes in rZJ1-VS or ZJ1 infected DF1 cells. Gene expression was compared between DF1 cells infected with rZJ1-VS and wt virus ZJ1 at a MOI 3. *Gene expressions were enhanced significantly in rZJ1-VS-infected cells than those in rZJ1-infected cells (P < 0.01). (D) The V protein expression levels in NDV-infected A549 and DF1 cells. The P and V protein were detected in WB assay at different time points post infection with NDV strain ZJ1.
