aThe 50% effective concentration, or the concentration necessary to reduce viral yield by 50%, was determined using a plaque assay

bThe 90% effective concentration, or the concentration necessary to reduce viral yield by 90%, was determined using a plaque assay

cConcentration required to inhibit the cell growth by 50% in the absence of virus
