In a single step growth analysis, WASL KO cells showed 62% reduction in EMCV-infected cells as compared to control cells (p<0.0001, Figure 2B and Figure 2—figure supplement 1A), while in a multi-step growth curve, WASL KO cells yielded 248-fold reduced virus titers at 24 hr post infection (p<0.01, Figure 2C). Here, WASL is linked to infection.
