From: Formononetin inhibits enterovirus 71 replication by regulating COX- 2/PGE2 expression
The antiviral effect of formononetin and pirodavir against EV71 in SK-N-SH cells. (A) Formononetin and pirodavir reduced the expression of EV71 VP1 protein in SK-N-SH cells by western blot assay. (B) Formononetin and pirodavir reduced the expression of EV71 VP1 protein in SK-N-SH cells by immunofluorescence assay. Cells were examined using a fluorescence microscopy (×100). (C) Formononetin and pirodavir reduced the expression of EV71 VP1 RNA by one-step qRT-PCR assay. *P < 0.001 # P < 0.05.
