Recombinant mEGFP-tagged N proteins were used to performed FRAP assays in vitro. Selected regions were bleached with a 488-nm laser pulse. The fluorescence intensity was collected every 1 s and normalized to the intensity before bleaching. For in vivo FRAP assays, H1299 cells were seeded on the glass bottom cell culture dishes and treated with 100 ng ml−1 Dox for the inducible expression of N-mEGFP. After 12-h Dox treatment, the cells were transfected with 1 μg ml−1 poly(I:C) for another 6 h. FRAP assays were performed with 488-nm laser pulse and the fluorescence intensity was collected every 0.5 s in vivo and normalized to the intensity before bleaching.
