HIV-1 inhibitory and virucidal activity of PJ-S21 and its formulations. Inhibition of infection by HIV-1 IIIB and BaL, respectively, was determined as described in the legend for Fig. 1. To measure virucidal activity, the respective viruses were mixed with graded quantities of PJ-S21 for 5 min at 37°C. After low speed centrifugation, the viruses were separated by precipitation with PEG 8000 and centrifugation. The resuspended pellets and control untreated viruses were serially diluted, and the dilutions assayed for infectivity. The concentration range given on the abscissa corresponds to 0.31 – 1,268 μg solids adsorbed from PJ to starch.
