Fluorescence micrographs of the MDCK cell population inoculated with Influenza A H1N1 virions (green cell F-actin; red viral nucleoproteins): (a) cells inoculated with virions that were preliminarily exposed for 5 min to 15 wt.% Si3N4-containing aqueous solution; and, (b) cells inoculated with virus exposed for 5 min to pure aqueous solution (control sample). In (c), quantification with related statistical validation of infected cells is obtained upon direct counting on fluorescence micrographs. The full set of fluorescence micrographs for both samples is shown in Figs. S-4 and S-5 of the Supplementary Information.
