Immuno-blockade of NcHig enhanced the infection of RYSV in the CNS of N. cincticeps. RT-qPCR assay of viral genome copies of RYSV in the head (A) and alimentary canal (B) of N. cincticeps at 6 days post-microinjection of NcHig antibody or pre-immune antibody as the control. The RYSV genome copies in the individual samples (n = 27) from viruliferous N. cincticeps were calculated as the log of the copies number/μg tissue RNA based on the standard curve for the RYSV N gene. The analysis was based on three biological repeats. P-values were estimated using a Student’s t-test. (C) RYSV infection of the CNS of viruliferous N. cincticeps at 6 days post-microinjection of NcHig antibody or pre-immune antibody, as analyzed by an immunofluorescence assay. Virus-infected heads were immunolabeled with RYSV-M-rhodamine (red) and α-tubulin-FITC (green). ag, abdominal ganglion; br, brain; sg, salivary gland. Bars, 50 μm.
