Inhibition of endosomal acidification with NH4Cl or bafilomycin A1 inhibits HCoV-OC43 infection in HCT-8 cell line. The infection efficiency determined with flow cytometry is expressed as the percentage of HCoV-OC43 infected cells, compared to the untreated control, and is presented on the left side of the graph. Right part of the graph shows the cell viability, as determined with an XTT assay. NH4Cl −50 mM NH4Cl; BafA1 −2.5 nM bafilomycin A1; control – PBS; M – mock infected cells; V or + − HCoV-OC43 infected cells. The data is presented as the mean of a triplicate for each sample ± SD. To determine the significance of differences between compared groups, Single-Factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied. ***P values < 0.05 were considered significant.
