Table 1. EC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, HA unit) of AF2240-i and rAF-IL12 in HT29 and 3T3 cells 72-h post-infection.
Column number in 96-well plate | Log10 titre of virus dilution | Observed cytopathic effect (CPE) percentage (%) | |
---|---|---|---|
AF2240-i | rAF-IL12 | ||
A | 0 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 |
B | −1 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 |
C | −2 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 |
D | −3 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 | 4/4 × 100 = 100 |
E | −4 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 | 1/4 × 100 = 25 |
F | −5 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 |
G | −6 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 |
H | No virus (negative control) | 0/4 × 100 = 0 | 0/4 × 100 = 0 |
Note:
The TCID50 was calculated based on the Reed and Muench method. The difference of algorithm of AF2240-i-infected cells = (100 − 50)/(100 − 0) = 0.50; log10 50% end-point dilution = −3 – (0.50) = −3.50; 50% end-point dilution = 10−3.50; the titre of the virus: 103.50 TCID50/0.1 mL = 3.16 × 104 TCID50/mL. The difference of algorithm of rAF-IL12-infected cells = (100 − 50)/(100 − 25) = 0.67; log10 50% end-point dilution = −3 – (0.67) = −3.67; 50% end-point dilution = 10−3.67; the titre of the virus: 103.67 TCID50/0.1 mL = 4.68 × 104 TCID50/mL. The TCID50 was presented as mean from four replicate determinations.
