Infection terms and model predictions. Single-round virus infection experiments were performed. Different doses of the virus were used to infect the target cell population, and the number of productively infected cells was determined by fluorescence after one round of replication. Mathematical models were fit to the data from experiments with 50,000 target cells, and the curves for experiments with higher target cell numbers was then predicted by the model. (a) Infection term βxy. The model over-predicts the experimental curves. (b) infection term (1+ɛ)βxy/(x+ɛ). The model accurately predicts the data. (c) Infection term (1+α)βv(1 ′ e′αS)/α. The model accurately predicts the data.
