Western blotting was performed as previously described (14 (link)) with minor modifications. Cellular proteins were isolated using 1 × RIPA buffer containing a protease inhibitor and a phosphatase inhibitor. The proteins were resolved by electrophoresis in a 10–15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20. Rabbit monoclonal anti-STING (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA), Rabbit monoclonal anti-cGAS (Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit polyclonal anti-Rab27b (Bioss Antibodies Inc., Woburn. MA), mouse monoclonal anti-KSHV ORF65 (14 (link)), rabbit polyclonal anti-GAPDH (Cusabio, Houston, TX), rabbit polyclonal anti-calnexin (Bioss Antibodies Inc.), mouse monoclonal anti-HDAC1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), mouse monoclonal anti-mtTFA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit polyclonal anti-MX1 (Bioss Antibodies Inc.), rabbit polyclonal anti-IFIT1 (Bioss Antibodies Inc.), rabbit polyclonal anti-IFIT44L (Bioss Antibodies Inc.) and mouse monoclonal anti-β-actin antibodies (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) were used as primary antibodies. HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibodies (Bethyl Laboratories Inc., Montgomery, TX) were used as secondary antibodies. The results were visualized using an ECL detection reagent (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).
