Figure Lengend Snippet: PS-vsiRNA construction and antiviral validation. A - B Map of psilencer4.1-vsiRNA (PS-vsiRNA) plasmid construction ( A ) and identification of Bam HI/ Hin dIII enzyme digestion ( B ), including PS-Q10, PS-Q16, PS-M10, and PS-M16. C-E PBMCs-Mφ were transfected with PS-vsiRNA plasmids (PS-Q10, PS-Q16, PS-M10, and PS-M16) for 24 h and subjected to infection with IBV-QX and IBV-M41 ( C ). qRT–PCR was used to detect Dicer, Ago2 ( D ), and IBV-N ( E ) mRNA expression. Notably, the M41 group (PS-M10 and PS-M16) and the QX group (PS-Q10 and PS-Q16) were infected with IBV (QX and M41). F western blotting was used to analyse the expression levels of β-actin, IBV-N, and Dicer in the IBV-infected PBMCs-Mφ group. The right panel shows the grayscale analysis results. The data are shown as the mean ± SD; n = 3. The differences were not significant at P ≥ 0.05 (ns) or significant at P < 0.05 (*), P < 0.01 (**), P < 0.001 (***), or P < 0.0001 (****)
Article Snippet: Afterward, PBMCs-Mφ and tissue sections were permeabilized with 0.4% Triton X-100 for 15 min. After being washed with PBS, the PBMCs-Mφ were stained with anti-IBV N antibody (HyTest, 1:500) in 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 h and were incubated with Alexa Fluor 594-labeled secondary antibodies (Bioss, 1:1,000) for 2 h and mounted with the SlowFadeTM Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Invitrogen).
