Figure 1. Inactivation of HIV-1 using formaldehyde (0.00 - 0.50%) as measured by RT enzyme (pg/mL) production in MAGIC-5 co-culture supernatant.

Figure 1

Background for the reverse transcriptase (RT) assay was negative control uninfected MAGIC-5 culture (NC). Positive control (PC) cultures were established from untreated samples. The lag observed in viral replication for 0.00% treated culture is associated with removal of free virus through necessary wash steps after formaldehyde fixation.
