C6/36 cells infected with TE, TE/vFGF, or TE/vFGFas showed cytopathic effects at late time points post-infection (pi) typical of SINV infection but did not appear to be as dramatic as the cytopathic effects caused by TE/Rpr infection, which showed extensive cell blebbing indicative of apoptosis. Here, EXTL3 is linked to infection.
