In vitro characterization of the antiviral activity of Secomet V against vaccinia virus infections

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The anti-poxvirus agent SECOMET V was the reference name for a plant extract produced in a bioreactor from primary plant stem cells, whose antiviral activity has been widely reported in folklore medicine. It exerted its anti-vaccinia virus activity by neutralizing cell-free virus rather than interfering with the downstream events following adsorption.
