a

NIH 3T3 cells were infected with MHV-68 (MOI = 0.1) or mock infected, and cells were treated or left untreated (replete medium or vehicle).

b

Average number of PFU per milliliter divided by the average live-cell number.

c

Calculated by dividing the ratio of the number of PFU per milliliter to live infected cell number in treated cells by the same ratio for untreated cells. Normalized fold change depicts the reduction in virus production due to each treatment type.
