  1. This table outlines the association of each cytokine with HIV-1-related neuropathology and indicates whether each cytokine was detected in the supernatant of microglia cultures versus M-BO cultures. Values below the LLOD (lower limit of detection) of this multiplex assay were considered undetectable
