Cells infected with the GFP virus were collected on 24 hpi using Hanks’-based, enzyme-free cell dissociation buffer (Gibco, 13150). Cells were washed once with PBS before they were fixed using 4% parafolmaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, USA) and suspended in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (PBS, 5% FBS). Cell suspensions were filtered through a 70-μm mesh, and resuspended in FACS buffer before analyzing them using an in-house flow cytometer (BD Accuri C6 Plus). A total of 2 × 104 cells were collected for each sample, and the analysis was performed using FlowJo (version 10) (46 (link), 47 (link)).
