Consistent with higher viral mRNA detected at 8 h post infection in APMAP O/E ARPE-19 cells, the western blot assay also showed that expression of viral proteins pp65, gH, and gO in APMAP O/E ARPE-19 cells at 72 h post infection were slightly higher than those in the wildtype and control cells (Fig 4F). The gene discussed is APMAP; the disease is infection.
