FIG. 8.

Inhibition of epithelial cell infection by gp42-derived peptides. The graph shows the inhibitory effect of gp42-derived peptides on EBV infection of epithelial cells. Virus was incubated with gp42-derived peptide or anti-gH/gL antibody E1D1 (gH/gL monoclonal antibody [mAb]) as a control at 1 μM. FACS analysis was used to measure the GFP-expressing cells, and data were normalized by setting the EBV-only control to 100% infection so that each experimental condition demonstrates a fraction of uninhibited 100% infection. The data shown represent the averages of three independent experiments.
