Abstract

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, 1-deoxynojirimycin, has been shown to eliminate the production of ER-budding viruses in the ER of host cell. This glucose-derived iminosugar derivative, 1-DNJ, has been largely purified from midgut of silkworm, Bombyx mori, Here, we have screened the antiviral activity in the GBV-B infected marmoset hepatocyte cell line.
