Permissiveness of primary murine brain glial cell cultures to NiV infection. Brain cultures from either wild-type (A, C, E) or IFNAR-KO mice (B, D, F) were mock-infected (A and B), or infected with NiV-EGFP (MOI = 1) and observed 48 h later under light (A–D) and fluorescent (E and F) microscope (×100). Formation of large multinuclear syncytia is indicated by arrows and presented in insert at higher (×300) magnification (CF). Supernatants (G and H) and cells (I and J) from cultures obtained after NiV infection at MOI = 0.02 (G and I) or MOI = 1 (H and J) were taken at 24 and 48 h postinfection and titrated on Vero cells (G and H), and RNA was analyzed by RT-qPCR for the expression of IFN-I (I and J). Results are presented as average viral titers from triplicate cultures ± SD (G and H; *P < .01, Mann–Whitney U test) or no. of copies/μg of IFNß-specific RNA ± SD (I and J, **P < .01, ***P < .001; 2-way ANOVA test followed with Bonferroni post-test).
