    InvivoGen a549 ko mavs cells
    Loss of MAVS impairs antiviral gene induction independent of STAT1. ( A ) WT or MAVS KO <t>A549</t> cells were mock-infected or infected with Le-PIV5 at an MOI of 10 and harvested at 24 or 48 hpi. Total RNA was analyzed by quantitative PCR to assess expression of IFN-β, IFIT1, and OAS2. Gene expression levels are expressed relative to the corresponding mock-infected controls. ( B ) Protein lysates from WT or MAVS KO cells that were mock-infected or infected with Le-PIV5 at a MOI of 10 were collected at 24 and 48 hpi and analyzed by Western blotting for STAT1 protein. β-actin was used as a loading control. ** indicates a p value < 0.01, *** indicates a p value < 0.001, and **** indicates a p value < 0.0001.
