From: West Nile alternative open reading frame (N-NS4B/WARF4) is produced in infected West Nile Virus (WNV) cells and induces humoral response in WNV infected individuals

Figure 6

Reactivity of MAb 3A12 with VERO WNV lineage I infected cells by western blotting. MAb 3A12 detects a protein with an apparent molecular weight of about 28 kDa in WNV lineage I infected VERO cells (line 3), no reactivity was observed in uninfected VERO cells (lane 2). The recombinant His-WARF4 protein was used as positive control (lane 1). The commercial anti-NS4B antibody was used to monitor the infection of VERO cells and to compare the migration of NS4B protein (lane 4) with the novel protein. The electrophoretic mobility of N-NS4B/WARF4 protein (lane 3) resulted slightly less than NS4B protein (lane 4). The recombinant His-NS4B positive control was loaded with a delay of about twenty minutes (lane 6).
