If the percentage of positive cells was compared between uninfected and HIV-1–infected cultures of the same donor, no statistical significant difference could be found. With the χ2 test α between 0.35 and 0.923 were determined.

F0-150

Data represented cytokine positive cells by immunocytochemical analysis (mean ± standard deviation [SD] of 3 donors). The experiments were performed as described in Materials and Methods (see HIV infection of MAC).
