| | HSV-1 Antiviral Assay |
| Description: | Subconfluent MRC-5 cells in 24-well culture dishes were inoculated by removing the medium and adding HSV-1 virus at a dilution that will result in a 3-4+ CPE in the no-drug well in 20-24 h. This was absorbed for 1 h at 37° C., aspirated and replaced with various concentrations of drugs in E-MEM containing 2% FBS and antibiotics. After approximately 24 h of incubation, HSV DNA was quantified in triplicate by nucleic acid hybridization using a HSV Antiviral Susceptibility Test Kit from Diagnostic Hybrids, Inc. (Athens, Ohio). The medium was removed and cells lysed according to the manufacturer s instructions. After absorption of the lysate, the Hybriwix™ filters were hybridized overnight at 60° C. The Hybriwix were washed for 30 min at 73° C. and counted in a gamma counter. |
