a IFA analysis of JEV-ΔNS1 virus at different passages using 4G2 monoclonal antibody. The JEV-ΔNS1 virus generated through transfection of BHKNS1 cells with the transcribed JEV-ΔNS1 genomic RNA was designated as P0 virus. Three JEV-ΔNS1 virus stocks (A, B and C) were blind passaged independently for 15 rounds (P0−P15) in BHKNS1 cells. The viruses at P0 and P15 were used to infect BHKNS1 cells and naïve BHK-21 cells. JEV-WT was used as a positive control. The length of the scale bar (displayed in a red line segment) represents 20 μm. b RT-PCR analysis of the expression of NS1 gene in BHKNS1 cells infected with P0 or P15 JEV-ΔNS1 viruses. The uncropped and unprocessed gel including markers was displayed in Supplementary Fig. 2. c Sequence chromatograms of RT-PCR products containing NS1 fragment amplified from P15 JEV-ΔNS1 virus.
