Figure Lengend Snippet: Intracellularly-expressed Nbs inhibits BVDV replication. Characterization of MDBK cell lines were performed by fluorescent microscopy (A) . Growth curves of MDBK-Nbs EGFP cell lines (B) . BVDV-induced CPEs were monitored under an inverted microscope (C) . BVDV replication levels were determined by using IFA (D) and the virus titers in the culture supernatants were measured based on the TCID 50 value (E) . (F) Schematic diagram of different truncated C terminal of BVDV NS4B proteins. (G) The interaction of Nb91 with different truncated C terminal of NS4B proteins was determined using western blotting. The scale bar indicates 100 μm. p -values were calculated using Student's t test. An asterisk indicates a comparison with the indicated control. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
