Assay Description: | Titers of virus stocks were determined by plaque assay in Vero E6 cells grown in six-well tissue culture plates. Virus stocks were serially diluted 10-fold in PBS, and 0.2 ml of each dilution was inoculated into quadruplicate wells and allowed to adsorb at 37°C for 1 h with rocking every 15 min. Monolayers were rinsed with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS; Corning) and then overlaid with a semisolid medium containing MEM, 5% FBS, antibiotics, and ME agarose (0.6%). Cultures were incubated at 37°C for 3 days and overlaid with DPBS containing neutral red (3.33 g/liter; Thermo Fisher Scientific) as a stain (10%), and plaques were counted after 4 to 5 h. Peptides were tested for inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV by plaque reduction neutralization assay. Peptides were serially diluted in molecular biology grade water (10,000 nM through 5 nM or 1,000 nM through 0.5 nM), each peptide dose was mixed with an equal volume of virus containing 500 particle-forming units (PFU)/ml in MEM, and the peptide/virus mixtures were incubated at 37°C for 1 h. Each peptide dose/virus mixture was inoculated into triplicate wells of Vero E6 cells in six-well plates (0.2 ml per well) and allowed to adsorb at 37°C for 1 h with rocking every 15 min. Monolayers were rinsed with DPBS prior to the addition of medium overlay containing MEM, 5% FBS, antibiotics, and ME agarose (0.6%). Cultures were incubated at 37°C for 3 days and overlaid with medium containing neutral red as a stain, and plaques were counted after 4 to 5 h. Virus controls were mixed with sterile water instead of peptide. |
