| Assay Description: | Our simple and convenient cell fusion inhibition assay can be used to screen and identify entry inhibitors of SARS-CoV. The requirement of trypsin treatment in this assay suggests that it mimics the entry from cell surface by direct fusion between viral and cell membranes. To examine the inhibitory effect of the peptides identified by the cell fusion inhibition assay on SARS-CoV, we carried out a previously described SARS-CoV infectivity assay for three HR1 peptides at the BSL-3 facility (PMID: 14519257, 15606632). Briefly, VeroE6 cells (1 × 10^4 cells, each well) prepared in 96-well were infected with 75 TCID50 of SARS-CoV TW01 strain, which were pre-incubated with or without different concentration of peptides in quadricates at 37 °C for 1 h. After incubation at 37 °C for 72 h, cytopathic effects were observed under light microscope, and the IC50 was determined. |
