The immune response induced by dsRNA from Trp53 MEFs is mediated primarily via the MDA5 receptor. (A) Immunoblot showing the expression of MDA5 and RIG-I receptors after transfection of Adar1;Trp53 MEFs with dsRNA from Trp53 MEFs. Prior to transfection, RIG-I was knocked down in the cells with esiRNA. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments and quantified using Image J software. (B) Immunoblot showing the expression of MDA5 and RIG-I receptors after transfection of Adar1;Trp53 MEFs with dsRNA from Trp53 MEFs. Prior to transfection, MDA5 was knocked down in the cells with esiRNA. Data are mean ± SD of three independent experiments and quantified using Image J software. In cases where bands were not quantifiable for all biological replicates (e.g., MDA5 was not visible upon MDA5 knockdown), error bars were not included in the quantification diagram.
