Iminosugars do not have any significant antiviral effect on HAZV secretion in SW13 cells (A–C) and Vero cells (D). SW13 (in technical triplicate) and Vero (single technical replicate) cells were infected with HAZV and treated with the drug and for (A) 1, (B) 3 or (C) 6 days for SW13 cells and (D) 3 days for Vero cells. Cell supernatants were collected and HAZV genome equivalents quantified with HAZV S (nucleoprotein)-segment qRT-PCR. HAZV genome equivalents quantified in supernatants from drug-treated cells were normalised to those from untreated cells (set at 100%), and data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
