RVFV-6 does not prevent virus from binding to cells.

<p>RVFV-MP12 (A) or EboZ-eGFP (B) was incubated with 50 µM RVFV-6 prior to the addition to a confluent monolayer of Vero E6 cells. After a 1 h adsorption, cells were rinsed with PBS, and RNA was harvested using TRIzol. Real time RT-PCR was conducted in triplicate to quantify the relative amount of viral RNA bound to cells, and results are combined from duplicate experiments. NTC is the no template control, PC (positive control) is RNA purified from either RVFV-MP12 or EboZ-eGFP. Untreated virus was mock treated without peptide. Error shown is the standard deviation of the mean.
