Antiviral activity of i on VZV infection at different stages of the infection. Vero cells infected with 0.01 m.o.i of VZV and treated with 1 µg/mL of ἰ at different periods of time. Furthermore, direct effect of ἰ on the virus infectivity (direct incubation) and its effect on the endogenous virus production were examined (n = 5); **p < 0.001 vs. the infected untreated cells.
