Figure Lengend Snippet: Binding competition assay of sCD4 and CD4-mimetic compounds with receptor NPC1 (A) sCD4, NBD-556, JRC-II-191, and DY-III-228 competing with NPC1 receptor. (B) Dose response (0, 10, 20, and 40 μM) of NBD-556 in binding competition with NPC1 receptor. (C) Comparison of wild-type (EGPDCM-WT) and mutant (EGPDCM-mut) (WF/AA, 86W/A, and 88F/A) receptor binding domain (RBD) of EBOV binding to the NPC1 receptor. The mutant (WF/AA) surface expression level was confirmed to be comparable to the wild type (see ). Representative of 3 experiments.
