N2 Gas Plasma Inactivates Influenza Virus by Inducing Changes in Viral Surface Morphology, Protein, and Genomic RNA

Figure 3

Decrease in viral titer of influenza virus by N2 gas plasma. Influenza A virus (A/PR/8/34)-infected allantoic fluid on a cover glass was air-dried, treated with N2 gas plasma (1.5 kpps; 0, 0.5, and 1 min) using BLP-TES No.1, and incubated with MDCK cells. After 72 h incubation, viral titers of TCID50/mL were calculated as described in Section 2. The assay was done in duplicate (No 1 and No 2), which was derived using different dried spots.
