Silver NPs blocking CHIKV viral entrance into Vero cells.
Description
In cells treated with AgNPs, the 5 interaction between AgNPs and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) prevents viral adsorption on Vero cells (right 6 panel). In the absence of AgNPs, the virus successfully adsorbs on Vero cells and 7 begins infection (left panel).
