The results showed that two NO-generating compounds, S-nitroso-l-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) and l-arginine (LA), at a noncytotoxic concentration could reduce PPV replication in a dose-dependent manner and that this anti-PPV effect could be reversed by the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). As shown in Fig. 1a , SNAP and LA have the ability to inhibit PPV replication in PK-15 cells, and there is a dose-dependent relationship between the inhibitory effect and the SNAP (or LA) concentration. As shown in Fig. 2 , the PFU value increased with later addition of SNAP (or LA), and adding SNAP (or LA) 6 or 3 h prior to viral infection resulted in the highest level of inhibition. Our results demonstrate that NO specially inhibits the PPV replication cycle during the step of viral protein synthesis (Fig. 3b) . ./cache/cord-283525-kvcqayl4.txt ./txt/cord-283525-kvcqayl4.txt
