Japanese Encephalitis Virus Induce Immuno-Competency in Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells (original) (raw)

Induction of IL-2 mRNA expression by NSPCs upon JEV infection.
RNA was isolated from control and JEV infected NSPCs at different dpi and cDNA was prepared from them. qRT-PCR was performed for IL-2 mRNA and normalised to 18S rRNA internal control. The graph represents the relative expression of IL-2 in JEV infected NSPCs at different dpi compared to control NSPCs. A significant increase in IL-2 mRNA levels was observed in JEV infected NSPCs from 1 dpi to 3 dpi compared to control NSPCs. * indicates p<0.01 compared to control.
