“…Thus, whilst clearly an indirect measure of channel activity, such indirect assays conducted upon multiple channels [e.g. IAV M2, HCV p7, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) p7, HPV E5, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) SH and picornavirus 2B] have provided important insights into their activity as well as their inhibition by small molecules, with results generally consistent with those observed in culture (Agirre et al, 2002;Aldabe et al, 1996;Atkins et al, 2014;Carter et al, 2010;Gladue et al, 2012;Guinea & Carrasco, 1994;Lama & Carrasco, 1992;Perez et al, 1997;Sanz et al, 1994;StGelais et al, 2007;Wetherill et al, 2012;Wozniak et al, 2010).…”
