Effect of RIG-I knockout on poly(dA:dT)-mediated HSV-2 inhibition. End1/E6E7 control cells (V2 control) and RIG-I knockout End1/E6E7 cells (RIG-I−/−) were transfected with or without poly(dA:dT) (0.5μg/ml) for 24h prior to HSV-2 infection (MOI = 0.001). (A, B) Total DNAs extracted from cells (intracellular) and culture supernatant (Extracellular) were measured by the real-time PCR for HSV-2 gD expression. (C) Total cellular proteins were collected and subjected to Western blot with antibodies against HSV-2 gB, HSV-2 gD, RIG-I, and GAPDH. The results are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate that the differences between the indicated groups are statistically significant (**P < 0.01).
