Efficacy of prioritized candidate peptides against VEEV TC-83. (A) Cytotoxicity of prioritized peptides in HMC3 cells; cells were pre-treated with peptides and toxicity was quantified at 24 h post-treatment; reported as % vs. water control. (B) TC-83 replication in peptide-treated HMC3 cells; reported as plaque forming units (PFU) per mL. Cells were treated with 10 µg/mL of each peptide. (C) TC-83 replication in U87MG cells treated with peptides A2 or A3. (D) and (E) Fold change in intracellular and extracellular genomic TC-83 RNA in peptide-treated HMC3 cells respectively; reported as fold change compared to water control. (F) Synergistic effects of A2 and A3 on TC-83 replication in HMC3 cells; reported as PFU/mL. n = 3; **p > 0.01; ***p > 0.001.
