- Each value represents the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. HBV DNA was extracted from isolated intracellular core particles after various concentrations of Phyllanthus urinaria koreanis extract treatment for 48 h from HBV WT and mutant-transfected HepG2 cells
- ND not determined
- aHBV DNA level was measured by Southern blotting using Fujifilm Image Gauge V 4.0 program
- bHBV DNA level was measured by real-time quantitative PCR. Primers for pRCR are listed in Additional file 1
- cEC50 is the concentration at which 50Â % depression of HBV DNA and HBs/e Ag secretion was observed
- dEC90 is the concentration at which 90Â % depression of HBV DNA was observed
- eSelectivity index (SI) was calculated by EC50/CC50. CC50 of extract on HepG2 cells was 757.0 ± 56.5 μg/ml.CC50, the drug concentration that reduced cell viability to 50 % of that the control was determined by MTT assay
