a

LAV Env fusion with PBMCs and Jurkat cells was arbitrarily set at 100%, as was Ba-L Env fusion with macrophages. The fusion exhibited by each Env against a particular cell type was scored relative to these standards. 

b

From reference 26

c

SI, syncytium-inducing; NSI, non-syncytium-inducing; NA, not available. 

d

Env effector cells (103) were mixed with 105 macrophages expressing vaccinia virus-encoded CD4.
