Figure 10From: Intracellular expression of IRF9 Stat fusion protein overcomes the defective Jak-Stat signaling and inhibits HCV RNA replicationIntracellular expression of IRF9-Stat fusion constructs induced eIF2α phosphorylation in the R15-3 cell line at 72 hours post-transfection. Upper panel: Western blot of p-eIF2α in R15-3 cells transfected with different IRF9 plasmids in the absence and presence of IFN-α (1,000 IU/ml). Bottom Panel: β-actin protein expression levels.Back to article page
