Figure 2From: In-vitro antiviral activity of Solanum nigrum against Hepatitis C VirusAnti-HCV activity of methanol extract of Solanum nigrum. Huh-7 cells were incubated with HCV serum and 100 μg/μl concentration of Solanum nigrum seeds extract for 24 hours. At the end of incubation period, total RNA was extracted by Gentra kit, and the levels of HCV RNA remaining were determined by the Quantitative RT-PCR assay and are shown as a percentage relative to the levels of HCV RNA in cells incubated without compound (control).Back to article page
