Fold change of mRNA expressions of the innate immune response genes in HCV infected cells after treating with the NS5A-bound-transbodies and controls (pegylated-IFNα-2a + RBV, telaprevir and medium alone) in comparison to normal (non-infected) cells. Panels A–C show fold change of expressions of IRF3, IFN-B and IL-28, respectively, after exposure to the transbodies and controls. The NS5A-bound-R9-HuscFvs and positive inhibitor controls restored the expressions of the innate genes that had been suppressed by the replicating HCV. All studied genes in the HCV infected cells cultured in medium alone were down-regulated by the infection.
