In agreement with the total CAR protein (Figure 5A) and cell-surface CAR (Figure 7A) data, PANC-1 cells with silenced ZEB1 expression were more susceptible to infection with a green fluorescence protein (GFP)-encoding adenovirus (Ad-GFP) [9] than the TGF-β treated non-silencing controls. This evidence concerns the gene CXADR and infection.
