Cumulatively, the data included in Fig. 1 suggest that infection of U87MGs with the attenuated TC-83 strain of VEEV results in an activation of the ERK signaling cascade and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 at early time points after infection. Therefore, to confirm that Ag-126 treatment indeed resulted in decreased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in U87MG cells, we investigated the intracellular p-ERK1/2 localization during VEEV infection in the presence or absence of Ag-126 at different time points using confocal microscopy as described previously (Amaya et al., 2014) . ./cache/cord-344515-e0g911le.txt ./txt/cord-344515-e0g911le.txt
