Recombinant PRRSV viruses bearing mutations of residues 588 and 643 of Nsp9 impaired PRRSV replication in vitro. MARC-145 Cells (A) and CRL-2843-CD163 cells (C) were infected with mutated viruses or wild type rSD16 (0.1 MOI). IFA was performed at 48 hpi with the monoclonal antibody recognized PRRSV-N protein (Clone No. 6D10) and visualized by FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG. Overlay images were visualized for cell nuclei (blue) and N protein (green). The scale bars are 100 μm. (B,D) The ratio of virus-infected cells/total cells calculated using Image J software. Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference between rSD16 and rSD16-I588A (***p < 0.001). Pound (#) shows a significant difference between rSD16 and rSD16-L643A (###p < 0.001).
