Fig. 6From: Development of a Real-Time Cell Analysing (RTCA) method as a fast and accurate screen for the selection of chikungunya virus replication inhibitorsThe Antiviral Effect on Vero Cell Morphology. Cell morphology profile after 72 h post infection and treatment. In parallel comparison to the antiviral effect on Vero cells, which was indicated by RTCA, the cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and observed via microscopy. CHIKV-infected cells were treated with ribavirin at concentrations of a 50 μg/ml, b 25 μg/ml, c 12.5 μg/ml, and d 6.25 μg/ml. As a virus control, three wells of non-treated CHIKV-infected cells, (e), were used. As vehicle control, three wells of non-infected Vero cells, (f), were monitoredBack to article page
