HIV expression was monitored by measuring viral RT activity (counts per minute per microliter) in culture supernatants harvested at the indicated time points and frozen at −80°C until tested. Data are mean values from duplicate cultures. TNF-α (0.02 nmol/L) and IL-6 (0.24 nmol/L) induced comparable levels of RT activity in U1 cells, as reported.37
