a

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

b

Minimum compound concentration that causes a microscopically detectable alteration of normal cell morphology.

c

50% Effective concentration, or concentration resulting in 50% inhibition of virus-induced cytopathic effect, as determined by visual scoring of the CPE, or by measuring the cell viability with the colorimetric formazan-based MTS assay.
