An extended peptide from bovine, indolicidin, showed a direct inactivation effect on cell-free HSV-1 virons by targeting viral membrane/ glycoprotein (Albiol Matanic and Castilla, 2004 Natural AMPs from scorpion venoms have attracted much attention due to their anti-viral bioactivities. To determine whether Hp1036 and Hp1239 could inhibit HSV-1 infection or replication in Vero cells, 10 lM of each peptide was added to the virus or cells at different times relative to incubation (Fig. 3A) . Various concentrations of peptides were added to Vero cells 1 h before HSV-1 infection and the inhibitory effects were determined by plaque assay. ./cache/cord-281069-m638nyt0.txt ./txt/cord-281069-m638nyt0.txt
