CD4 depletion during priming phase reduces risk of infection. (A) Rhesus macaques were challenged intrarectally with increasing doses of SHIV-BaL virus. Survival curves showing CD4 depletion reduces risk of infection. (B) RT-PCR was used to quantitate viral SHIV-BaL RNA in plasma. (C) Assessment of tissue-related virus (copies per million cells). Red = CD4 depleted (CD4d) group, turquoise = Immunized (Imm) group, black = Non-Immunized (NI) group. Significant difference (p < 0.05) between groups as determined by two-tailed t-test and 2-way ANOVA, *p < 0.05, **p <0.005, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
