5-Fluorouracil-related enhancement of adenoviral infection is Coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor independent and associated with morphological changes in lipid membranes

Figure 4 Other pyrimidine-based drugs do not show the positive effect of 5-FU on adenoviral infection. The colon carcinoma cell lines were treated concurrently with the virus Ad-GFP and 5-FU, 5-BrU, 5-FC, DOC or taxol, each at the indicated concentration. The number of the infected green cells was counted after 40 h infection. The reported data are the average of three experiments and the error bars indicate the standard deviation values.
