Sheng-Ma-Ge-Gen-Tang inhibited Enterovirus 71 infection in human foreskin fibroblast cell line

Mechanism by which ma-xing-shi-gan-tang inhibits the entry of influenza virus

“…After incubation for 72 h, cell viability was determined with an MTT assay. This attachment method has been described previously (Chang et al, 2008).…”

Kaempferol inhibits enterovirus 71 replication and internal ribosome entry site (IRES) activity through FUBP and HNRP proteins

“…Next, RD cells were infected with EV71 (100 TCID 50 ) and held for 72 h at 37°C prior to WST-1 assays ( Fig. 1B) (Chang, Wang, & Chiang, 2008;Guo et al, 2006). Four wells were analysed for each concentration.…”

Sheng-Ma-Ge-Gen-Tang (Shoma-kakkon-to) inhibited cytopathic effect of human respiratory syncytial virus in cell lines of human respiratory tract

“…Antiviral activity of the crude extract was examined before and after viral inoculation by plaque reduction assay (Graham et al, 1988;Chang et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2010). Briefly, cells were seeded and incubated for 24 h as previously described.…”

“…Both measles virus and HRSV are members of Paramyxoviridae family that can infect human respiratory tract. Besides, SMGGT and its ingredients have activities against several viruses (Pompei et al, 1979;Baba and Shigeta, 1987;Ito et al, 1987;Crance et al, 1994Crance et al, , 2003Denyer et al, 1994;Sato et al, 1996;Utsunomiya et al, 1997;Cinatl et al, 2003;Lin, 2003;Chang et al, 2008). Therefore, we supposed that SMGGT might have activities against HRSV.…”
