<p>PMA-differentiated THP1 cells were treated with media supplemented with vehicle only (DMSO), 5 μM AZT or with 10 μM SFN. Twenty-four hours after treatment, the samples were either mock infected or infected with (A), VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1 encoding firefly luciferase in place of <i>nef</i> or (B), VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-2 encoding firefly luciferase in place of <i>nef</i>. Twenty-four hours after infection, luciferase activity was measured by photon emission. (C), In parallel, the same experiment as in (A) and (B) was performed except that THP1 cells were infected with VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-1 with GFP in place of <i>nef</i> or (D), VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-2 with GFP in place of <i>nef</i>. The samples with GFP-reporter viruses were fixed and harvested 24 h after infection and the fraction of GFP(+) cells was enumerated by flow cytometry. Bar graphs represent the data for replicate experiments (n = 3).</p
