Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of stable single cell clones. (A) JEV-JD12, YFV-YF9 and CHIKV-CH3 cell lines were stained for E and/or Capsid protein expression. Cells were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy and images acquired. (B) The stable cell lines were cultured in the presence (+) or absence (−) of blasticidin for a period of 30 days with routine sub-culturing. Culture supernatants were analyzed for E protein expression by western blotting. M = Protein molecular weight marker. (C) VLPs harvested from the individual stable cell lines were negatively stained and analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy. Scale = 50 nm. Fluorescence microscopy images were analyzed using NIS Elements AR software version 3.2 (Nikon; https://nis-elements-viewer.software.informer.com/3.2/ ). Gel images were analyzed using GENETOOLS gel analysis Software version 4.03 (f) (Syngene, https://www.syngene.com/software/genetools-automatic-image-analysis/ ).
