Why the study?
Do zinc salts inhibit respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication in HEp-2 cell cultures?
Do zinc salts inhibit respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication in HEp-2 cell cultures?
Zinc salts exhibit specific, concentration-dependent in vitro antiviral activity against RSV by altering the host cell's ability to support viral replication.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
In vitro RSV inhibition by zinc salts does not support clinical use; leaves open need for in vivo and human studies.
Suara et al. (2004) studied this question.
