From: Identification of the ovine mannose receptor and its possible role in Visna/Maedi virus infection
Concanavalin A (ConA) mediated inhibition of visna/maedi (VMV) infection. Virus was preincubated with ConA, ConA-mannan or mannan alone for 1 h and then used to infect ovine skin fibroblasts (OSF) and blood monocyte derived macrophages (BMDM). Inhibitory effects of these treatments were measured by proviral load quantification (VMV copies per ng of DNA; A); and RT activity (absorbance at 405 nm) in culture supernatants 7 days after inoculation (B). Values are the mean ± SE of the assays performed.
