Figure 5From: Chikungunya virus adaptation to Aedes albopictus mosquitoes does not correlate with acquisition of cholesterol dependence or decreased pH threshold for fusion reactionGrowth kinetics of CHIKV with mutations in E1 protein identified in Clone#1 virus in standard (A) and cholesterol-depleted (B) C6/36 cells. Standard cells were infected at an MOI of 1.0. Cholesterol-depleted cells were infected at an MOI of 0.1. Viral titers are expressed as Log10TCID50/mL ± standard deviation of 2 independent experiments.Back to article page
