| Description: | Huh7-high CD81 cells were plated at a cell density of 8000 cells per well in 96 well plates (Perkin Elmer, cat #6005660). Cells were plated in 100 μl of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM-Glutamax™-I, Invitrogen Cat #10569-010) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Invitrogen Cat #10082-147) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen cat #15070-063). Cells were allowed to equilibrate for 24 hours at 37° C. and 5% CO2 at which time compounds and pseudotyped viruses were added. On the day of the assay, HCVpp aliquots were thawed in 37° C. water bath and kept at 4° C. until use. Compounds (or medium as a control) were diluted in 3 fold dilution series in DMEM-Glutamax™-I with 2% DMSO and 2% penicillin/streptomycin. The 100 μl plating medium in each culture well was removed followed by the addition of 50 μl compound dilutions and 50 l thawed HCVpp. Firefly luciferase reporter signal was read 72 hours after the addition of compounds and HCVpp using the Steady-Glo luciferase Assay System (Promega, cat # E2520) following the manufacturer's instruction. |
