RAB11A and infection: A dual-hit siRNA mediated knockdown combined with either immunofluorescent assay or an agarose-based colony-forming unit assay were used to measure the effects of Rab11a and Rab35 knockdown on CCV area and <i>Coxiella</i> intracellular growth.<h4>Results</h4>The CCV localization screen with host Rab proteins revealed that recycling endosome-associated proteins Rab11a and Rab35 localize to the CCV during infection, suggesting that CCV interacts with host recycling endosomes during maturation.
