  1. 1 Groups of SCID-HuH-7 mice were inoculated into the peritoneal tumor with 4.0 log10 PFU of the indicated virus. Serum was collected on day 7, and virus titer was determined in Vero cells.
  2. 2 Data combined from 2 experiments.
  3. 3 Significant reduction compared to wild type DEN1 (Tukey post-hoc test, P < 0.05).
