Considering that PIs are well tolerated drugs in vivo, and that many relevant human pathogens belong to the family of RNA viruses infecting cells through an endocytic pathway, this finding would open the way towards a broader therapeutic use of PIs. HIV virions emerging from cells treated with PIs remain immature viral particles as a consequence of the block of Gag polyprotein cleavage. Cells were treated overnight with the PI doses most effective against VSV and/or influenza virus replication, then labeled with LysoSensor Green DND-189 for 30 min in the presence of PIs, and finally analyzed by FACS. ./cache/cord-272051-arz8r204.txt ./txt/cord-272051-arz8r204.txt
