Induction of autophagy in L cells does not reduce the production of intracellular HSV-1.

<p>L (L) and gro29 (g) cells were pre-incubated for 1 h and maintained under nutrient rich (DMEM/10%FBS) (+) or nutrient deprivation (DMEM without FBS) (−) conditions and challenged with HSV-1 at an MOI of 1. At the indicated times post infection the cell associated virus was collected and titred on Vero cells. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0042636#s2" target="_blank">Results</a> are from three independent experiments, with S.D. indicated.
