| Method | Cell-free virus production during the stationary period was determined on a per cell basis for both PBMCs and MDMs from the relationship between the cell concentration per T25 flask (15×10^6 total macrophages in 11 ml of medium) and the amount of virus produced per unit time following a complete wash-out of cell-free virus. |
