The infection status of AM-Cd36 was further supported by the transcriptional alterations observed between virus-positive and virus-negative cells in AM-Cd36, of which genes related to “response to virus” (such as Mx1 and Isg15) and “apoptosis” (such as Bax and Foxo3) were upregulated (Fig. 2e, f). This evidence concerns the gene MX1 and infection.
