Studies on the Effect of AM and RG in Enhancing the Antiviral Activity of Human Myocardial Cells in Vitro
Abstract: In this study, we assayed the antiviral effect of AM and RG againstCoxsackie B-3 and Echo-19 viruses and the influence of these two drugs onthe susceptibility of human heart cells to viral infection. Results of the studyrevealed the following: human heart cells, depleted endothelial cells and fibro-blasts by 2 hours adsorption, grown up to monolayer by 9th-10th day, survi-ved more than one month. AM and RG have no direct inactivating effect onCox B-3 and Echo-19 viruses. Heart cells pretreated with AM and R...
