From: Inhibition of apoptosis prevents West Nile virus induced cell death
WNV infection induces caspase activation and cytochrome c release. Cellular levels of procaspase-8, cleaved caspase-9, BID and procaspase-3 during WNV-infection (A), release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytoplasma (B) and caspase-3 activation (C) in WNV infected cells (all MOI 1). The band in A marked with * resulted from unspecific antibody binding. Blots shown are representative for a set of three different experiments. Values represent mean (± SD) from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 compared to mock-infected cultures.
