N2 Gas Plasma Inactivates Influenza Virus by Inducing Changes in Viral Surface Morphology, Protein, and Genomic RNA
Figure 6
Degradation of influenza virus-infection induced proteins by N2 gas plasma treatment. (a) Proteins in influenza virus (A/PR/8/34) infected (+) and uninfected (−) allantoic fluid were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) solution. (b) The level of influenza virus-infection induced proteins in allantoic fluid, which include both viral proteins and the other proteins in allantoic fluid responding to the infection, was decreased after N2 gas plasma treatment for 15 and 30 min compared to the untreated control (0 min). The arrowheads highlight protein bands induced after influenza virus infection. The positions of the molecular weight markers are indicated on the left hand side.
