Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) DF-1 cells were transfected with a plasmid coding Flag-tagged nsp15 (PXJ40F-nsp15). At 24 h.p.t, indirect immunofluorescence was performed with a chicken anti-Flag-tag antibody (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). (B) Vero cells were infected with IBV-WT or rIBV-nsp15-H238A at an MOI=1. At 18 h.p.i, indirect immunofluorescence was performed with a mouse anti-IBV-nsp15 monoclonal antibody (red), a rabbit anti-IBV-nsp12 polyclonal antibody (green) and the nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). (C) Vero cells were infected with IBV or rIBV-nsp15-H238A with an MOI of 1. At 18 h.p.i., cells were treated with 100 μg/mL cycloheximide (CHX) for 15 min at 37°C and subjected to 7–47% sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation (38,000 rpm for 3 h), and the fractions were analysed by Western blot to detect nsp15, Rsp6, eIF4E, and β-actin (left panel).
