When Vero cells were pre-treated with peptide (cell pretreatment assay) prior to virus infection (Fig. 1B) , little changes in virus titers were observed between the control and peptide treatment groups; some small effects were observed with the rabbit anti-PEDV neutralizing antibodies. Finally, in the virus pretreatment assays where PEDV was incubated with peptides prior to cell infection (Fig. 1C) , the results indicated that both peptides H and S inhibited PEDV infectivity where EC 50 values were approximately 1 μg/ml and 62.5 μg/ml, respectively. Results clearly show that peptide H had no demonstrable effects on TGEV or PrV even at very high peptide concentrations (1 mM/ml) (Fig. 3) suggesting that a non-specific reactivity with virus envelopes is unlikely to be the cause for attenuating PEDV infectivity. ./cache/cord-273745-mwjh5se7.txt ./txt/cord-273745-mwjh5se7.txt
