Fig. 3From: In vitro inhibition effects of hepatitis B virus by dandelion and taraxasterolInhibition of HBV replication in HepG2.2.15 treated with taraxasterol. After HepG2.2.15 cells were treated with taraxasterol for 3 and 9 days, the culture supernatant was harvested. HBsAg and HBeAg were determined by ELISA assay, and HBV DNA was detected by qPCR. The results represent the mean data from three independent experiments. As compared to DMSO negative control group,* P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01Back to article page
