A549 cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 6 × 105 cells per well. The following day, virus stocks were serially diluted in 2% DMEM, and cells were inoculated and fixed as described above. Following fixation, cells were washed with 1× PBS, and an anti-flavivirus envelope antibody, 4G2 (Ab00230-2.0; Absolute Antibody, Oxford, UK), diluted 1:500 in permeabilization/wash/block buffer (see recipe above) was added to the cells. Following incubation with primary antibody, donkey anti-mouse ...

A549 cells were seeded on no. 1 glass coverslips in a 24-well plate at a density of 1 × 105 cells per well. The next day, cells were mock infected or infected with ZIKV strains and fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Fisher Scientific) in filtered 1× TBS for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were then washed with filtered 1× TBS and permeabilized and blocked in 5% NGS in 1× TBS (5% NGS/TBS) containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 30 min at 4°C. For pSTAT1 staining, cells were permeabilized with 100% ice-cold ...
