Ratios of infected cells are as follows: A4/B6, 0.54; D5/D6, 1.00, M1/S6, 0.38. The number of cells infected with the chimeras is significantly different for A4/B6 and M1/S6 (Student's two-tailed t test, P < 0.01.). The number of infected CCRS-GHOST cells was determined by flow cytometry for each of the clade A chimeras in eight replicate experiments. The data are displayed as the ratio of the mean number of infected cells for each virus pair.
The percent control is the number of cells infected in the presence of 2D7 (10 μg/ml) divided by the number of cells infected in the presence of the control antibody. Mean percent control and standard error were determined from four replicate experiments.
The percent of cells infected with Q47M1 is significantly different from the percent of cells infected with Q47S6 in the presence of 2D7 (10 μg/ml) relative to respective controls (Student's two-tailed t test, P < 0.01).
