Combinations of siRNAs against La Autoantigen with NS5B or hVAP-A Have Additive Effect on Inhibition of HCV Replication

Figure 3

Analysis of NS5B protein expression after transfecting NS5B and La autoantigen siRNAs: HCV-infected Huh-7.5 cells were treated with siRNAs against La autoantigen and NS5B as mentioned above. After 48 h total cellular protein was isolated and subjected to western blot analysis. (a) indicates downregulation of La autoantigen (upper gel) and NS5B (middle gel) and β-actin (lower gel). (b) represents densitometric analysis of La autoantigen and HCV NS5B expressed in percentage. Immunofluorescence of NS5B from single and combination of siRNAs transfected cells as represented in (c) where row (A) indicates cells in bright field and row (B) is the merging of DAPI and FITC stained cells.
