Virus specificity of inhibition. (A) Cells transfected with Sendai virus HN and F cDNAs for 48 h were incubated with trypsin (10 μg/ml) for 10 min followed by soybean trypsin inhibitor (20 μg/ml) and complete medium. Fusion was measured at 0, 3, and 5 h after trypsin activation. Data points are from four separate experiments. (B) Peptide NDVFhr24 was added to cells transfected with Sendai virus HN and F cDNAs at 36 and 45 h posttransfection. At 48 h posttransfection, the cells were incubated with trypsin for 10 min and then further incubated for 3 or 5 h in the presence of soybean trypsin inhibitor and NDVFhr24 peptide. Fusion was measured 0, 3, and 5 h after trypsin activation. The data are the average of three experiments. Actual variation in data is shown by vertical bars.
