Figure 7

Schematic representation of a proposed mode of virucidal effect of AuNPs-As on Measles virus infection. Viral adsorption is started once the virion reaches Vero cells and the infection can be achieved successfully (left panel). In cells treated with AuNPs-As, the adsorption step is blocked by the binding of AuNPs-As and the viral envelope, therefore, the infection cannot be initiated (right panel).
