aWhere multiple values are displayed, this reflects the testing of multiple independent lots of the test sanitizer. In all cases, a single replicate measurement was used to generate the data point.

bCytotoxicity was reduced by passage of the virus/test substance through a Sephadex LH-20 gel filtration column.

cNeutralizer used: minimal essential medium + 10% fetal bovine serum + 0.5% polysorbate 80 + 0.5% lecithin.
