Figure 2. Infectious SHIV vaccine protects against heterologous pathogenic SHIV challenge.
Seven controls and two test monkeys were challenged with SHIV-89.6P and monitored for viral load by bDNA analyses. Results from control and test animals are shown in panels A and B, respectively. Animals were also monitored for CD4+ T-cell percentages among CD3+ populations after challenge with SHIV-89.6P (Panels C and D).
