Transcript-level validation of proteomic changes by RT-qPCR. Transcript levels of RCN2, APOB, XPNPEP3, ALDH4A1 and ENO3 were analysed by RT-qPCR in PHH at 8 dpi. Gene expression was normalized to GAPDH. HBV infection was confirmed by quantifying total HBV RNA (top left), shown on a logarithmic scale and normalized to the HBV+BLV group. All other mRNA levels are shown relative to uninfected controls (Ctrl). Data represent mean±sd from a single experiment; individual points represent three replicates.

Selection and validation of ALSV-LAMP primers. M, DNA Marker DL2000 (TaKaRa, China); N, no template control; P, LAMP assay using cDNA of ALSV genome as template; FP, LAMP assay using non-ALSV cDNA as template. (A) The effectiveness of LAMP primer set selection was evaluated through 1% gel electrophoresis. Three different sets of candidate LAMP primers were subjected to test. (B) The accuracy of the third primer set was confirmed by false-positive verification. This step validated the credibility and practicality of the chosen third primer set, as evident from the results of 1% gel electrophoresis. The reaction mixture comprised 12.5 µl of 2×Lamp Master Mix, 0.8 µM each of FIP and BIP, 0.2 µM each of F3 and B3, 0.16 U µl−1 of DNA Polymerase, 2 µl of template DNA and 5 µl of ddH2O.
