Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Rhinovirus antiviral assay (HRV1B)
Description:  HeLa-OHIO cells (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) were plated in 96 well plates at a density of 1.5×105 cells per well in assay media (MEM without phenol red or L-glutamine, supplemented with 1% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 2 mM GlutaGro, and 1×MEM nonessential amino acids, all from Cellgro, Manassas, Va.). Assay setup took place after allowing cells to adhere for 24 h. Compounds dissolved in DMSO were serially diluted in assay media to 2× final concentration. Media was aspirated from the cells, and 100 μl media with compound was added in triplicate. Human rhinovirus 1B (ATCC, Manassas, Va.) was diluted in assay media, and 100 μL was added to cells and compound. The virus inoculum was selected to cause 80-90% cytopathic effect in 4 d. Infected cells were incubated for 4 d at 33° C., 5% CO2. To develop the assay, 100 μL media was replaced with 100 μL CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega, Madison, Wis.), and incubated for 10 mins at RT. Luminescence was measured on a Victor X3 multi-label plate reader.
