Further statistical analysis indicated that the proportion of annexin V-FITC-binding positive but PI-negative cells (distributed in Q3; commonly annotated as early apoptotic cells) increased significantly after infection with HvAV-3h to approximately 21% at 3 hpi and was 7% to 9% at 6 and 12 hpi, but no more than 3% from to 24 to 120 hpi (Fig. 1B). Here, ANXA5 is linked to infection.
