T4 phage can inhibit infections by HAdV-5 of target cells. Our results suggest that T4 might be considered a novel agent against HAdV and possibly other pathogenic viruses. Potential antiviral effects of other phages should also be investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
