Light-stimuli enhance SnPPIX inactivation efficiency. (A) ZIKVBR, (B) ZIKV766, (C) CHIKV, (D) MAYV, (E) SINV and (F) VSV were treated with 200 µM CoPPIX, SnPPIX or heme under light-stimuli (white bars) or without light-stimuli (black bars). 0.6% DMSO was used as vehicle. Afterwards, virus infectivity was assessed by plaque assay. ND indicates samples with non-detected pfu. Data are represented as means ± SEM of at least three independent samples.
