Evaluation of the impact of Gel-3 and Gel-4 on HSV-2 replication and the inhibition of the HSV-2 induced cytopathic effect. a HeLa cells were infected with HSV-2 (MOI 6.4–0.4) preincubated (1 h, 37 ℃) with 10 w/v% and 20 w/v% concentrations of Gel-3 and Gel-4, respectively. At 24 h post infection, the cells were lysed and the HSV-2 DNA concentration was measured by direct qPCR (n = 3). b HeLa cells were infected with untreated and Gel-3 and Gel-4 treated HSV-2 (MOI 6.4 and MOI 1.6), as described before. HSV-2 cytopathic effect was compared to the untreated HeLa cells by light microscopy 24 h post infection
