Article Title: Inactivation of Respiratory Syncytial Virus by Ozone Generated via Dielectric Barrier Discharge Technology with Decrease in Intact Viral Surface Protein
doi: 10.3390/microorganisms13112611
Figure Lengend Snippet: Decrease in the levels of intact RSV F protein following ozone treatment. RSV (VR-1540) samples were treated with ozone (0.5 ppm, 1 h (+)) or subjected to fan operation only (−). RSV F protein levels were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) targeting RSV F protein. A significant reduction in intact F protein was observed in the ozone-treated group (+) compared to control counterparts (−). Differences where p < 0.05 (*) versus control (−) were considered significant when verified by the Mann–Whitney U test.
Article Snippet: To detect RSV antigens, the Bionax NOW ® RSV test (Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (RSV-F ELISA Kit, KIT11049 ; Sino Biological, Inc., Kanagawa, Japan) were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
