Table 4 From the above table, the viable cell rate decreased in the control and the I
The increase in the FAIII sex rate indicates that the AIDS virus is infecting cells and proliferating within them. On the other hand, in a test in which the AIDS virus was treated with Factor B in advance, the decrease in the viable cell rate and the increase in the IFA positivity rate were suppressed. Therefore, it was confirmed that Factor B alone has the ability to neutralize the infectivity of the AIDS virus and is useful as an anti-AIDS virus agent.
