Table 9. Nanobody synergy of neutralization activity; related to Figure 7.

Parameters from modeling the synergy observed for the indicated nanobody pairs. Multidimensional synergy of combinations (MuSyC), equivalent dose, and Bivariate Response to Additive Interacting Doses (BRAID) models were used to determine if statistically significant synergy was evident from the neutralization response in a 2D grid of nanobody concentrations.
