DENV‐1 and DENV‐2 entry into Vero cells is dependent of acidic pH.
A. Cells were treated with ammonium chloride or concanamycin A and infected with DENV‐1 or DENV‐2. After 1 h internalization in the presence of the drugs, extracellular virus was inactivated with proteinase K and the cell pellets were plated onto Vero cells to determine internalized virus by an infectious centre assay. Results are expressed as percentage of internalized virus with respect to a control without drug treatment. Each point shows the mean ± SD of two independent experiments.
B. Cells were treated with 50 mM ammonium chloride before or after infection with DENV‐2 or were left untreated (control). At 48 h p.i. immunostaining was carried out using mouse anti‐E glycoprotein antibody and FITC‐labelled anti‐mouse IgG.
