The experimental work of the thesis was concentrated on studying of the inhibition effect of twenty-six chemical substances on tick-borne encephalitis virus. The substances showing inhibition effect in High Throughput Screening assay were processed to Cytotoxicity assay, where their toxic effect on tissue cell cultures was determined. Subsequently, substances with inhibition effect and no cytotoxic effect were incubated with cell culture and virus in two different incubation time periods and the supernatant containing virions was examined using plaque assay.
