Fig 5. HCV synthetic E2 vsRNAs specifically inhibited PTPRE expression.

Huh 7.5 cells were transfected with control siRNA, HCV vsRNA-1 or vsRNA-2 duplexes (putative seed sequence underlined; A). PTPRE, VAPA and GAPDH expression was measured 96 hours post transfection by immunoblot analysis (B). Experiments were performed three times with consistent results.
