(A) Co-localization of Nsp1β, Nsp4, Nsp9, Nsp10 and N protein with exogenous Ubc9 in HEK293 cells. HEK293 cells were co-transfected with pCMV-HA-Nsp1β, pCMV-HA-Nsp4, pCMV-HA-Nsp9, pCMV-HA-Nsp10 and pCMV-HA-N with pCMV-Myc-Ubc9, respectively. The cells were fixed at 36 h post-transfection and processed by immunostaining with a mouse anti-HA mAb or rabbit anti-Myc PAb and TRITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG or FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG, and were then examined by confocal microscopy (600×magnification). Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Co-localization of Nsp1β, Nsp4, Nsp9, Nsp10 and N protein with endogenous Ubc9 in mock-infected MARC-145 cells and PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells (B), mock-infected PAMs and PRRSV-infected PAMs (C). The mock- or PRRSV-infected cells were fixed at 24 h post-infection and processed by immunostaining with a rabbit anti-Ubc9 PAb or mouse anti-Nsp1β, anti-Nsp4, anti-Nsp9, anti-Nsp10 and anti-N mAb, respectively, and then immunostained with TRITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG and FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG. Nuclei were stained with DAPI.
