In the present study, we investigated the effect of NO and peroxynitrite on hantavirus replication in Vero E6 cells and on free mature virions by using S-nitroso-Nacetylpenicillamine (SNAP; an NO-donor), 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1; a peroxynitrite donor), and by stimulating endogenous NO production by iNOS with cytokines. From cells treated with 50 lM SNAP, 85% less viable virus was obtained, whereas lower concentrations of SNAP had no detectable effect on the virus replication, as compared to NAP-treated or medium controls ( Fig. 2A , and data not shown). However, the finding that iNOS -/suckling mice had higher levels of replicating virus than controls is in line with the finding that cytokine-stimulated NO production inhibited hantavirus replication in Vero E6 cells. ./cache/cord-355440-20yq6zj0.txt ./txt/cord-355440-20yq6zj0.txt
