As can be appreciated from the western blot (Fig 4C), the total ATG9A protein levels remained constant throughout infection (mean ± SEM of Pearson R value: Mock 4 h 1.000 ± 0.000, 4 h 0.893 ± 0.494, Mock 6 h 0.693 ± 0.153, 6 h 1.387 ± 0.130, Mock 8 h 1.037 ± 0.194, 8 h 0.893 ± 0.039, Mock 14 h 1.160 ± 0.257, 14 h 1.060 ± 0.445). The gene discussed is ATG9A; the disease is infection.
