Antibodies | Vim+ | HIV-1p24+ | Vim+ | HIV-1p24+ |
MDM | 368.88 ± 43.54 | 0 | 93.5 ±12.24 | 0 |
HIVE | 419.11 ± 45.64 | 128.5 ± 31.35 | 103.17 ± 12.53 | 62 ± 5.02 |
HIVE and BMM-IDV-NP | 342.26 ± 18.88 | 52.67 ± 20.12* | 81.63 ± 19 | 22.88 ± 9.86* |
Absolute numbers of Vim+ and HIV-1 p24+ MDM were determined from serial immunohistological sections. These were used to assess levels of HIV-1 infection. Mean (± SEM) are absolute numbers of Vim+ and HIV-1 p24+ MDM determined for 5 animals per group. IDV-NP-BMM intravenous administration significantly reduced levels of HIV-1p24+ MDM when compared to untreated HIVE mice. Uninfected MDM injected into the subcortex of immunodeficient mice served as a control.
p < 0.05 compared IDV-NP-BMM treated to untreated HIVE mice.
