a Infectious virus titer (TCID50/ml) was determined in MT-2 cells and was normalized by dividing by the amount of viral p24 (ng/ml), as described in Materials and Methods. Data are presented as mean % wild-type virus titer ± standard deviation from four individual experiments.

b P values were calculated using a one-tailed Student's t-test assuming equal variance. N.S., not significant.

c No virus titer noted
