Journal: PNAS. 2012, 109(43), 17639–17644

Product usage: PBMC: 200,000 freshly isolated, phytohemagglutinine-stimulated PBMCs were infected with 200 TCID₅₀ of the primary isolate and cultured with human plasma and 200 IU interleukin-2. Control wells were cultured in 10% FBS. All samples were measured in quadruplicates in the same plate and in three different plates. RT was quantified at days 7 and 11 postinfection using the RT activity kit (Cavidi).
