We found that both POPG and PI inhibited IL6 gene expression (by 50% and 60%, respectively, Figure 4A) and protein production (by 57% and 80%, respectively, Figure 4B) after RV-A16 infection (shown as % of RV16, RV16 + POPG: 42.5 ± 8.5, RV16 + PI: 20.4 ± 5.9). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and infection.
