Anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of λ-CGN. (A) SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero cells (MOI, 0.005) were treated with λ-CGN or RDV for 2 days. Whole cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody (upper panel), in which β-actin was used as a loading control (lower panel). Proteins are marked on the right side of the panels. No virus, cell lysates without SARS-CoV-2 infection; Mock, SARS-CoV-2-infected cell lysates without antiviral compound treatment. S2, S2 subunit of viral spike protein. (B) Viral RNA was purified from the culture supernatants of the samples as mentioned in (A). Real-time RT-PCR was conducted using SARS-CoV-2 N gene-specific primers. Relative viral RNA copies were calculated on the basis of their Cq values. (C) Culture supernatants used in (B) were serially diluted for infection of fresh Vero cells. On day 2, the cell culture plates were subjected to immunofluorescence assay for determination of infectious viral titer by calculating the relative ratio of spike-derived green fluorescence frequency to nuclei-derived blue-positive cell number. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments. **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001; n.d., not detected. The graphs were created using GraphPad Prism 8.3.1 (www.graphpad.com).
