Figure Lengend Snippet: Antiviral activity of CTs against enveloped viruses. Two assays are reported here. (A) Co‐treatment assay against HSV‐1 and RSV in (B); (C) virus pre‐treatment assay against HSV‐1 and RSV in (D). For HSV‐1, rhamnolipid M15RL (50 μg/mL) was used in the co‐treatment and virus pre‐treatment (Giugliano et al. ); for RSV, Hylin‐a1 (50 μM) was used in co‐treatment and virus pre‐treatment assays (Chianese et al. ). Untreated but infected cells were used as controls (ctr−). The data represent the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of three independent experiments. **** p ‐value < 0.0001; * p ‐value < 0.03; ns: not significant.
Article Snippet: The viruses used were Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV‐1) strain SC16, Respiratory Syncytial virus (RSV) (ATCC VR‐1540, Manassas, Virginia, United States), Poliovirus Type 1 (PV‐1) strain Chat (ATCC VR‐1562, Manassas, Virginia, United States), propagated on Vero‐76 cells (Cometa et al. ).
