The osmorality of a solution will also affect replication rates hypotonic solutions accelerate, lee et al 2009 elseivier, Hypertonic--who knows!
It takes about 24 hr to fully infect susceptible target cells with an agressive retrovirus with our pussycat who knows? Morgan et al J Virol nov 1999
Key message the methodology in a trial is SO important----there are so many variables known and unknown in this field
