Abstract:
Seventy three marine plant extracts were tested in vitro in chick embryo fibroblast cell culture and their anti-vaccinia virus activity was evaluated in terms of reduction in number of plaques by the extracts. Only seven extracts were found to show the activity. Sargassum wightii, a seaweed had the highest activity, reducing 65 per cent of plaques formed by vaccinia virus.
