Figure 4From: Cellular vimentin regulates the infectivity of Newcastle disease virus through targeting of the HN proteinReciprocal dependency between NDV infection and vimentin rearrangement. NDV infection induces differential vimentin rearrangement in HD11 cells (A) and CEFs (B). Cells were infected with non-UV-inactivated NDV or UV-inactivated NDV at an MOI of 1 for 18 h and were also pretreated with IDPN prior to being infected with NDV. The infected cells were then fixed with cold 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with Triton X-100, and blocked with 5% BSA. NDV dsRNA (green) and vimentin (red) were visualized using specific antibodies on a confocal microscope, with the nuclei stained with DAPI (blue). Images were captured at 630 × magnification. The white arrowheads indicate rearranged vimentin. The white dashed box indicates colocalization of rearranged vimentin filaments and viral dsRNA. Scale bars, 10 μm.Back to article page
