To determine whether there is a causal relationship between vimentin rearrangement and Salmonella infection, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 method to establish vimentin-knockout (KO) cells and the lentiviral system to construct vimentin KO-full length (FL) rescue cells (Fig. 1f; Fig. S1h). The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is Salmonella Infections.
