a) 50% Cytotoxic concentration, as determined by measuring the cell viability with the colorimetric formazan- based MTS assay.

b) 50% Effective concentration, or concentration producing 50% inhibition of virus-induced cytopathic effect, as determined by measuring the cell viability with the colorimetric formazan-based MTS assay.

c) Required to cause a microscopically detectable alteration of normal cell morphology.

d) HHA: Hippeastrum hybrid Lectin (Amoryllis bulbs).

e) UDA: Urtica dioica agglutinin.
