Cell-based assays to identify inhibitors of viral disease
22 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Antagonizing the production of infectious virus inside cells requires drugs that can cross the cell membrane without harming host cells. OBJECTIVE: It is therefore advantageous to establish intracellular potency of anti-viral drug candidates early in the drug-discovery pipeline. METHODS: To this end, cell-based assays are being developed and employed in high-throughput drug screening, ranging from...
