The effects of calcitriol on A549 cells. a Effect of calcitriol treatment on virus growth kinetic in A549 cells. Cell culture supernatants were harvested every 24 h from infected cells and the viral load was titrated using the TCID50 assay. Real-time PCR was used to measure the effect of calcitriol treatment on the mRNA expression levels of the viral M gene (b), IL-6 (c), and IFN-β (d) in A549 cells. β-actin was used as an internal control. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM of triplicate samples
