POPG and PI prevent cytopathic effect by SARS-CoV-2 and inhibit viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 in VeroE6 cells.

Panel A) Hematoxylin-Eosin staining of VeroE6 cell monolayers of untreated (CONL), or SARS-CoV-2 infected cultures (SARS-CoV-2) that were also pretreated with lipids (+PC, +POPG, +PI) 30 mins prior to the time of infection. The white bar indicates 50 μm. Viral infection causes cell lysis, cell hypertrophy and hypochromic staining. Panel B) shows quantification of viral loads by plaque assays, with POPG reducing number by ~60%, and PI reducing numbers by ~90%.
