STING1 and infection: To independently retest STING degradation during TB40/E infection, we created two new TB40/E recombinant viruses based on the same parental strain (TB40/E-GFP-WT in which UL138 is untagged) that are either tagged at the carboxy terminus with the HA epitope (TB40/E-GFP-UL138-HA) or tagged at the carboxy terminus with the HA epitope but with an inserted STOP codon at position 16 (TB40/E-GFP-UL138-HA-M16stop).
