We observed that RTN3 protein levels were dramatically increased during VSV-eGFP infection (Figure 1A, top) or under poly(I:C) stimulation (Figure 1A, bottom), with both conditions showing the same pattern of RTN3 mRNA upregulation (Figure 1B and C, top) accompanied by increased TNF mRNA levels that were used to indicate the effectiveness of VSV-eGFP or poly(I:C) treatment toward inflammatory induction in stimulated cells (Figure 1B and C, bottom). Here, TNF is linked to infection.
