Moreover, results from time-of-addition study showed that the inhibitory effect of CBX on DENV was exhibited by targeting the virus itself, not the host cells. In this study, we investigated whether CBX treatment inhibits dengue infection by measuring the production of progeny virions and viral RNA as well as viral protein expression. To determine whether CBX inhibits the production of infectious progeny DENV in other dengue-permissive cells, TCID 50 assay was performed to measure the virus titer in CBX-treated THP-1 and HUVEC cells, both of which are widely used in DENV studies [Halstead, 1988; Wu et al., 2000] . CBX treatment did not inhibit DENV-1 or DENV-2 RNA synthesis and protein expression in one replication cycle, but markedly reduced progeny virus The total RNA was isolated from the infected cells and analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. ./cache/cord-253480-qchrw337.txt ./txt/cord-253480-qchrw337.txt
