PHA (1 g/ml, Sigma-Aldrich)/IL-2 (100 U/ml, Shionogi, Osaka, Japan) activated PBMCs were infected for 2 h with 20 ng of HIV-1 p24 Gag (X4/NL4-3 or R5/JRCSF) in the presence or absence of the Sukumo extract (0.64-400 g/ml), washed three times with PBS and cultured for 7 days in RPMI-1640 medium/10% FBS plus 100 U/ml IL-2 with or without the Sukumo extract. Sukumo extract was also evaluated for the inhibition of wild-type herpes simplex virus-1 replication in infected Vero cells, using a standard viral plaque assay (Fig. 1B) . ./cache/cord-260071-z29b30sd.txt ./txt/cord-260071-z29b30sd.txt
