Why- If the CRISPR-Cas9 transfection is not successful, it would not be relevant to relate the observations from transfected cells to the expected outcome of gene editing experiment.

Viperin (Virus Inhibitory Protein, Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated, Interferon-inducible) inhibits the replication of a broad spectrum of viruses by several diverse mechanisms. The protein was first identified in 2001, when it was found to be the product of an IFN gamma-inducible gene (1).
