As a general observation, it was reported that smaller nanoparticles have better antiviral effect. cAgNPs could reduce cytopathic effects induced by RSV and showed efficient antiviral activity against infection by directly inactivating the virus prior to entry into the host cells. have reported that porous AuNPs are able to inhibit influenza A infection more efficiently than nonporous AuNPs. 39 This effect has been associated with the higher surface area of the porous material that favors their interaction with capsids and thus increases their antiviral activity ( Figure 4 ). ./cache/cord-331673-xv1tcugl.txt ./txt/cord-331673-xv1tcugl.txt
