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.
From reference 26.
SI, syncytium-inducing; NSI, non-syncytium-inducing; NA, not available.
Env effector cells (103) were mixed with 105 macrophages expressing vaccinia virus-encoded CD4.
