Fig 2. Knockdown of selected genes required for ANDV infection.

Fig 2

Western blots of indicated proteins after knockdown with gene-specific siRNA against (A) dynamin 2 (DNM2); (B) clathrin heavy chain (CLTC); (C) AP2M1; (D) caveolin 1 (CAV1); (E) CDC42; (F) ARF6; (G) NSF; (H) RAB5C; or (I) TSG101; or non-targeting siRNA transfection control (NT). siRNAs were transfected into HMVEC-L at the concentration of 100 nM for 48 h (see Table 1 for more information regarding these genes). The cells were then infected with ANDV (MOI = 0.5) for 24 h or 48 h. Western blots were performed post infection to ensure knockdown of the specific protein expression. Molecular weight of each specific protein is indicated on the right side of each panel. The blots were also probed with β-actin specific antibody as the gel-loading control. (A) and (B) show only the results collected at 48 h.
