Provirus copy number estimated by Southern blot analysis of at time of death.
Percent GFP+ cells determined by flow cytometry.
Percent G418r colonies = (colony count + G418)/[colony count − G418] × 100.
Defined by lack of GFP expression in most or all of cells in individual colonies analyzed after G418 selection.
