The transcripts continued to be detectable up to 96 h p.i. By using a prepared anti-vAcRev-IAP3 monoclonal antibody, a major immunoreactive band of approximately 36 kDa was first detected at 6 h p.i. in vAcRev-infected Sf9 and SpLi-221 cells, 9 h p.i. in vAcRev-infected Hi5, and 24 h p.i. in Se301 cells, and the protein amount increased gradually through the late phase of infection (Fig. 6B). Here, XIAP is linked to infection.
