Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes ricinus tick cell lines respond to infection with tick-borne encephalitis virus: transcriptomic and proteomic analysis
TBEV infection levels in mock-infected and TBEV-infected tick cells. Numbers of copies of TBEV NS5 were determined by qRT-PCR using NS5 primers and the linearised plasmid pJET-NS5 to create a standard curve. Copy numbers were normalised to 1 μg of total RNA. The limit of detection was derived from the number of NS5 copies in the highest dilution which was still detectable with a variance less than one Ct and was normalised to 1 μg of total RNA. (A) IDE8 infected and mock-infected (control) at days 2 (2d) and 6 (6d) p.i. (B) IRE/CTVM19 infected and mock-infected (control) at days 2 and 6 p.i.. Error bars are standard deviations. Samples marked with + passed both RNA and protein quality checks and were used in transcriptomic and proteomic analyses
