HUT 78 (1 × 106) cells were incubated for 1, 3, and 5 days with 25% of CM obtained from uninfected (TCM), HIV-1–infected (HIV-TCM), or TPA-treated (TPA-TCM) HUT 78 cells or with single cytokines or the combination of all the different cytokines in the respective concentrations (SH-TCM). VEGF-A concentrations were determined in duplicate by ELISA. The mean values and standard deviations of two independent experiments are shown.

*

Corrected VEGF-A concentrations are presented. The concentration of VEGF-A present in TCM, HIV-TCM, and TPA-TCM used for induction in the respective experiments has been subtracted.
