| Target Domain Name: | HR1 domain of HCoV-NL63 |
| Assay: | Inhibition of live HCoV replication |
| Assay Description: | The inhibition assay for live SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV was performed in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facility at the Wuhan Research Institute and Beijing Key Laboratory for Animal Models of Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases, respectively.6 Inhibition activity of peptides on SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV was determined by plaque reduction assay. Peptides with different dilution concentrations were mixed with SARS-CoV-2 (100 TCID50) for 30 min and then added to monolayer VERO-E6 cells. After adsorption at 37 °C, the supernatant was removed, and 0.9% methyl cellulose was overlaid on the cells. After 72 h, the plates were fixed and stained. Plaques were counted by fixing with 4% paraformaldehyde and staining with 0.1% crystal violet. To test the effect of peptide on HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 replication, 50 µL of 100 TCID50 virus were mixed with an equal volume of peptide and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Afterwards, the mixture was added to RD, Huh-7 and LLC-MK2 cells, respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8, Dojindo, Kumamoto, Kyushu, Japan) assay was applied to determine cytopathic effect. |
