Dengue fever is considered a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions. Our study analyzed the effect of BaltPLA a phospholipase A from Bothrops alternatus snake venom, on the viability of cells infected with Dengue virus. In presence of BaltPLA, the viability of infected cells increased significantly in virucidal, post-treatment, and adsorption assays. Although preliminary these results reveal the need for further studies to investigated whether BaltPLA has antiviral activity against Dengue virus.
登革热被认为是热带和亚热带地区的主要公共卫生问题。我们的研究分析了来自矛头蝮蛇(Bothrops alternatus)蛇毒的磷脂酶 A(BaltPLA)对感染登革病毒的细胞活力的影响。在 BaltPLA 的存在下,感染细胞在病毒杀灭、后处理和吸附测定中的活力显著增加。尽管这些结果是初步的,但它们表明需要进一步研究,以研究 BaltPLA 是否对登革病毒具有抗病毒活性。
