FIGURE 1.

ARPE-19 and SH-SY5Y cells infected with VZV induced obvious cytopathic changes. (A) ARPE-19 and SH-SY5Y cells infected with VZV for 48 h induce obvious cytopathic changes, and cells not infected with (MOCK) virus maintain normal morphology and growth. (B) Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure the expression of ORF61 encoding the early phosphorylation protein of virus in ARPE-19 cells and SH-SY5Y cells after 48 h of VZV infection. (C) Western blot was used to evaluate the expression of VZV glycoprotein gE in ARPE-19 cells and SH-SY5Y cells.
