Preliminary screening of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genes for inhibition of Renilla luciferase (Rluc) gene expression. (A) Genome organization of the ASFV genome. The organization of open reading frames (ORFs) on the genome of the virulent ASFV-SY18 is shown. ORFs are shown as arrows to indicate their size and direction. (B) Determination of the ASFV genes that inhibit Rluc gene expression. HEK-293T cells were cotransfected with pRL-SV40 and ASFV genes. At 24 h posttransfection, the cells were lysed and subjected to Rluc assays. The error bars show the standard deviation (SD) of the results from three independent experiments.
