Apoptotic and Early Innate Immune Responses to PB1-F2 Protein of Influenza A Viruses Belonging to Different Subtypes in Human Lung Epithelial A549 Cells

Figure 6

Impact of PB1-F2 expression on the mRNA expression levels of (a) BCl2 member family which govern the permeabilization of mitochondrial outer membrane. (b) IAP (Inhibitors of Apoptosis) and other antiapoptotic proteins. Gene expressions were normalized with the β-actin gene expression level and presented as fold increase relative to nontransfected cell controls. Data Asterisks () indicate (p < 0.05) and are calculated relative to the mock vector control which is also represented in the figure. This data is representative of three independent experiments. Error bars represent the ± SEM.
