Vero cells were infected with DENV-2 (strain NGC) (MOI = 1) and after 1 h adsorption cultures were incubated with anisomycin (200 nM) or ribavirin (80 mM). At different time points, cells were washed with PBS. Total RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and real time PCR, which allow the amplification of nucleotides 10,419 to 10,493 within the viral 3’ UTR, was performed as previously described (Quintana et al., 2016 (link)). Average viral RNA Ct values were normalized to the average Ct values of actin (ΔCt), ΔΔCt based fold-change calculations were set relative to untreated-virus infected cells and QR (2ΔΔCt) was calculated using Bio-Rad iQ5 2.1 software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
