During NHV/P68 infection of PAM, the expression of viral proteins such as the early protein p32 and late proteins p72, p17 and p12 increased from 6 hpi (for p32) to 24 hpi, and p32 and p72 expression decreased at 48 hpi and no expression of p17 and p12 was detected (Fig. 5a, left panel). The gene discussed is DDX17; the disease is infection.
