Infectivity of increasing amounts of WT viruses and CA mutants expressing HIV Env or VSV-G. Viral inputs were normalized according to RTase activity (ranging from 100 to 10,000 cpm) and used to infect MAGIC-5B cells. 48 hours post-infection, relative infectivity was measured by quantification of o-nitrophenyl β-D-galactopyranoside hydrolysis. Time of incubation used for revelation of β-galactosidase assay was adapted to produce non saturating OD at 405 nm (1h45 in panel A and 25 min in panel B). For each dose tested, infectivity of S₁₄₉A and S₁₇₈A mutants is indicated as a percentage of β-galactosidase activity generated by an identical amount of WT viruses with the corresponding envelope.
