From: Effect of Quercetin on Hepatitis C Virus Life Cycle: From Viral to Host Targets
Huh-7.5.1 cells were infected with JFH1 for 6 h and then treated with 50 μM of quercetin (JFH1 + Q50 μM), or DMSO as carrier control, for 24 h (a) or 72 h (b,d). (a,b) Cells were lysed for quantification of negative-strand HCV RNA. (c,d) Culture supernatant were collected for determination of extracellular HCV RNA level and infectivity titer. Results are expressed as percentage of vehicle control. Data are presented as the mean values ± SD obtained from three independent experiments.
