The infection of IFNβ promoter or MX1 promoter luciferase transfected cells demonstrated a 3-fold and 4-fold increase, respectively, in both IFNβ and MX1 promoter activity with VHSV Ia infection in G3BP1 KD cells compared to WT RTgill cells (Figure 6D,E). This evidence concerns the gene G3BP1 and infection.
