Briefly, virusantibody mixture was incubated for 1 h at 4°C before inoculating over the Vero cells (pre-attachment), while prechilled (4°C for 15 min) Vero cells were infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 (100 pfu/well) at 4°C for 1 h to allow virus adsorption before serial dilutions of antibodies were added (post-attachment). After 2 h of adsorption at 37°C, the virus inoculum was removed and cells were washed with PBS twice then incubated in DMEM containing 2% FBS in the presence of antibodies, m27f (500 μg/ml) and 21C11 (500 μg/ml), mouse IgG (500 μg/ml), or medium alone as a control. As shown in Fig. 4A , m27f completely inhibited cell-to-cell spread of both HSV-1 and HSV-2, as evidenced by observing the limited fluorescence caused by virus infection. ./cache/cord-297531-et1sli23.txt ./txt/cord-297531-et1sli23.txt
