Vero cells were infected with TCRV and were exposed to 10 nm Ag-NPs at 25 μg/ml at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-infection or the Ag-NPs were added concurrently with the TCRV (0 hour). The -1 hour reflected the pre-exposure scenario of figure 1 and was used as a control. The progeny virus produced was harvested 8 days post-infection and is expressed as the mean log₁₀ TCID₅₀/mL. All treatments were significantly lower than the "No NP" control as determined by the student's t test with n = 6.
