Niclosamide-induced endosomal pH neutralization impairs the maturation of ZIKV. (a) Representative dot plot analysis (FSC x 4G2-AF488) of Huh-7 cells infected with ZIKV in the presence of the indicated concentrations of niclosamide. The ZIKV-positive cell population is shown in the lower right quadrant. (b) Virus titres from cell culture supernatants were determined with a plaque assay. The data represent the means (±SD) of at least two independent experiments performed in duplicate. N.D., not detected. (c) Western blot analysis of prM and E proteins of ZIKV purified from culture supernatants treated with niclosamide or DMSO. Uncropped images are presented in the supplemental material. (d) Representative TEM images of ZIKV particles purified from culture supernatants treated with niclosamide or DMSO. ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001 compared to DMSO control.
