CpG enrichment in segment 5 of the IAV genome results in ZAP-independent attenuation. WT PR8, CDLR control, and CpGH viruses were used to infect permissive cells and counterpart ZAP-pathway knockout cells at MOI 0.01 for 48 h, and infectious virus production was measured. (A) A549-cas9 or paired ZAP−/− cell infections. (B) HEK293-cas9 or paired TRIM25−/− cell infections. (C) A549-cas9 or paired KHNYN−/− cell infections.
