To address the reviewer’s concern, we performed statistical analysis of three independent experiments shown in Figure 2B, lower panel. Statistical analysis of mean values of the determined protein amount for IFITM3 shows no statistically significant differences (e.g. p-value of 6 h pi compared to control is 0.5224). We included this information in the figure legend of Figure 2.
