Interestingly, treatment with STING or NF-κB agonists at the time of virus exposure did not affect the efficiency of nuclear delivery of the viral genome (Fig. 4g), suggesting that the increase in HCMV infection upon STING induction was not mediated by the increased nuclear import of HCMV genomes. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is cytomegalovirus infection.
