5 Figure S2. TEM image of as-prepared Au NCs. Figure S3. Enlarged fluorescent images of inactivation effect of Au NCs on PRRSV infection. (A-D) MARC-145 cells were maintained in DMEM with 2% FBS for 36 h. (E-H) MARC-145 cells were treated with 450 µm Au NCs for 2 h, then cultured with DMEM with 2% FBS for 36 h. (I-L) MARC-145 cells were infected with control PRRSV for 36 h. (M-P) MARC-145 cells were infected with Au NCs-PRRSV for 36 h. S5

6 Figure S4. Effect of Au NCs on PRV infection in MARC-145 cells. The virus titers were determined by plaque assay. The results were presented as mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Figure S5. Fluorescence microscopy images of Au NCs in PK-15 (A) and MARC-145 (B) cells. Approximately 80% confluent PK-15 or MARC-145 cells were incubated with Au NCs (450 µm) at 37 C for 2 h, followed by washing twice with PBS. Cell imaging was conducted with a confocal laser-scanning microscope under the excitation wavelength of 405 nm. S6
