Furthermore, sIFITM3 blocked FMDV infection at early steps in the virus life cycle by disrupting viral attachment to the host cell surface. Ectopic expression of sIFITM3 inhibited infection of non-enveloped FMDV in baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells by disrupting viral attachment, and this differs from human IFITM3 restriction on enveloped viruses. Two days post infection of the cell lines with viruses, plaque assay showed that BHK-sIFITM3 was less susceptible to infection by type O FMDV strains O/ES/ 2001, O/GD/2010, and O/AH/2010 than the control BHK-eGFP, and reduced plaque formation numbers by over 11-to 24-fold (Fig. 2C ). In addition, post infection with type Asia 1 FMDV Asia 1/JS/2005, the plaque formation number was reduced to over 13fold in BHK-sIFITM3 cells (Fig. 2C) . ./cache/cord-295421-zy517zwr.txt ./txt/cord-295421-zy517zwr.txt
