DENV-2 does not block miRNA function.

<p>(A) Fluorescence microscopy of human fibroblasts cotransfected with a plasmid expressing GFP targeted by miR-142 (pEGFP-142t) and either a construct expressing miR-142 (p142) or an empty vector control (vector). Cells were mock treated or infected with DENV-2 at an MOI of 1 48 hrs prior to analysis. (B) Fluorescence-activated cell sorting of samples treated as in (A). (C) Quantitative RT-PCR on samples described in (A). Data depicted as NS5 over tubulin levels. (Statistical significance: ****, P<0.0001, ***, P<0.001).
