Anti-Influenza Activity of an Ethyl Acetate Fraction of a Rhus verniciflua Ethanol Extract by Neuraminidase Inhibition

Figure 1

Measurement of the antiviral activity of RVS and fraction (chloroform (CHCl3) and water (H2O)) using neuraminidase (NA) inhibition assay. Influenza A viruses, including A/PR/8/34, were added to indicated (a) concentrations of RVS and (b) its fractions. Fluorescence was measured using fluorescence spectrophotometry (excitation, 365 nm; emission, 415–445 nm). Bar graph () statistics were determined with data from three experiments using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test, ; . n.s.: not significant, compared with the RVSE untreated samples.
