Note: *CC50 the reciprocal substance dilution at which 50% of cells were protected from substance toxicity; °EC50 the reciprocal substance dilution at which 50% of cells were protected from the virus induced killing; ˆSI (selectivity index) the ratio between CC50 and EC50.
The mean values of three independent experiments with standard errors are shown.
