Neutralization activities of entry inhibitors against pseudoviruses carrying spike proteins of major SARS-CoV-2 variants. SmBiT-ACE2 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2-pseudotyped viruses mixed with indicated DMSO, Dolutegravir, or Etravirine for 6 h and then removed from culture. Following 24 h post infection, bioluminescence signals of infected cells were detected by a bioluminescence imager and bioluminescent plate reader. Representative bioluminescence images of pseudotyped virus infection are shown. EC50 values of indicated entry drugs against different variants are shown.
