a

Duplicate BBB models were either exposed in the upper chamber to HIV-1LAI (1 million RNA copies) or left uninfected. At the indicated times, [14C]inulin (20 μl; 25,000 to 30,000 cpm) was added for 1 h, and the permeability coefficient was determined as described in Materials and Methods.

b

Values for duplicate experiments are shown.

c

Mean difference, 0.00004; standard error of the difference, 0.00006; P = 0.5982.

d

Mean difference, 0.00000; standard error of the difference, 0.00006; P = 0.9820.

e

Mean difference, 0.00001; standard error of the difference, 0.00006; P = 0.9103.
