C344-derived or BJAB-derived virions were incubated with saturating concentration of each antibody, for 2 hours at 4°C and 2 hours at 37°C before contact with IL-3–deprived TF-1 cells.

Abbreviation: ND, not determined.

*

Values are expressed as the mean percentage of apoptotic cells at the various times analyzed (see Table 1 for procedures) from four independent experiments per condition.
