a Analysis of STING dimerization in WT and IRF8-KO THP-1 cells infected with HSV-1 for the indicated times. The lysates were fractionated by non-reducing SDS-PAGE or SDS-PAGE and analyzed with the indicated antibodies. b Analysis of Sting polymerization in WT and Irf8−/− BMDMs infected with HSV-1 for the indicated times. The lysates were fractionated by Blue Native PAGE or SDS-PAGE and analyzed by immunoblots with the indicated antibodies. c Gel filtration chromatography in WT and Irf8−/− BMDMs. BMDMs were left uninfected and infected with HSV-1 for 4 h before lysis. The individual fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. Fraction sizes were calibrated with the gel filtration standard (Bio-Rad 151-1901). d Endogenous association of Sting with Tbk1 and Irf3 in WT and Irf8−/− BMDMs. The cells were left uninfected or infected with HSV-1 for the indicated times. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting analysis were performed with the indicated antibodies. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
