Abstract
. Mechanistic investigation revealed that Se@TP inhibited H1N1 influenza virus from infecting MDCK cells through induction of apoptosis via suppressing AKT and p53 signaling pathways through immunohistochemical assay. Our results suggest that β-thujaplicin-modified SeNPs as carriers are an efficient way to achieve an antiviral pharmaceutical candidate for H1N1 influenza.
