doi: 10.3390/biology14111583
Figure Lengend Snippet: The characteristics of bone-marrow-derived macrophages from wild-type (WT) and cGAS-/- mice after 24 h activation by rabies virus (2 × 10 4 copies) with and without brain preparation from the WT control mice (6.25 mg), as indicated by the representative Western blot analysis and cell viability ( A ), supernatant proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10) ( B ), genes of pattern recognition receptors ( TLR3 , TLR-4 , TLR-7 , TLR-9 , and RIG-I ) ( C ), and genes of interferon (IFN) and cytokine production ( RIG-1 , MDA-5 , and NF-κB ) ( D ).
Article Snippet: To investigate the macrophage responses to rabies virus, BV2 (murine microglial cell line) (ATCC CRL-2467) and bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were maintained in supplemented DMEM.
