PCME does not inhibit DENV cell-to-cell spread. (A) Quantitative analysis of DENV cell-to-cell transmission in test drug-treated viral foci. Viral E protein (reflecting DENV-positivity) was detected by immunofluorescence microscopy at 72 h and 144 h postinfection. Scale bar = 200 μm. (B) Quantitation of the number of cells per DENV E-positive focus. Data were acquired from three randomly observed foci for each treatment group. (C) Determination of the relative diameter (%) of the DENV foci under test drug treatment compared to the virus only group at 144 h. PCME = 30 μg/ml; DMSO = 0.06%. Data shown are representative confocal micrographs or means ± SEM (*P < 0.05) from 3 independent experiments.
