Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of the NLRX1 mutation on MAVS/RIG1 and proinflammatory cytokines. Huh7-NTCP cells are transfected with WT NLRX1 or MT NLRX1 vector for 48 h. ( A ) Coimmunoprecipitation assay showing the effect of WT NLRX1 or MT NLRX1 on MAVS/RIG1 interaction. ( B ) Luciferase expression from the IFN-α, IL-6, or IFN-β promoter in Huh7-NTCP cells. All experiments were repeated three times independently. *, P < 0.05 vs. NC + HBV; **, P < 0.01 vs. NC + HBV; +, P < 0.05 vs. WT NLRX1 + HBV
