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). Here, BAX is linked to infection.
