The study found that combining the two drugs had an increased effect of killing of cancer cells, while individually, the drugs have considerably less
impact on cell viability.
Thus, CXCR4 disruption had no
impact on cell viability, but conferred a significant survival advantage in the presence of HIV strains that can use CXCR4 to infect cells.
