Effect of anti-viral peptide on early gene expression. MDCK cells were incubated with medium alone (a), control peptide [CSWGEYDMC] (30 µM) treated (b) or peptide P1 treated [0 µM - (c); 50 µM - (d); 100 µM - (e)] viruses H9N2 (moi of 0.5) for 1 h on ice. After shifting the temperature to 37°C, the NP protein expression was monitored by immunofluorescence microscopy. The results represent the means of triplicate determinations. *, Statistical significance (P < 0.05)
