The qPCR results indicate a progressive increase in the number of p72 protein copies during ASFV infection, as depicted in Figure 1A. Simultaneously, the rate of ASFV replication steadily decreased, as illustrated in Figure 1B. According to Western blotting (WB), although the expression level of the ASFV p72 protein started early in the infection, it increased very slowly and even stopped as the infection progressed (Figure 1C). Here, DDX17 is linked to infection.
