Large liposomes principally mediate restriction of HIV-1 infection in ALFQ-treated MDM. Primary human monocytes were differentiated into MDM following in vitro culture with M-CSF media. At day 4 post-culture, the cells were treated with ALF55, ALFQ, or ALFQsuv for 24 h. Untreated MDM (no adjuvant) cultures served as controls. Cells were washed and infected with US-1 (4 ng p24). Cultures were harvested at day 5 post-infection (p.i) and analyzed for the presence of intracellular p24 by flow cytometry and HIV-1 DNA content by qPCR. (a) Values (red boxes) in the upper right quadrant(s) of the flow plots represent the percentage of HIV-1-infected MDM under each treatment. (b) Scatter dot plots represent the data from quadruplicate wells of two donors (a) and show the percentage of HIV-1-infected MDM (mean ± s.d.) in untreated MDM (black circles), MDM treated with ALF55 (brown circles), ALFQ (magenta circles) or with ALFQsuv (cyan circles). (c) Scatter dot plots show the amount of HIV-1 per 106 HIV-1-infected MDM (mean ± s.d.) in untreated MDM (black circles), MDM treated with ALF55 (brown circles), ALFQ (magenta circles) or with ALFQsuv (cyan circles) from triplicate wells of the two donors. Statistical differences between the groups were determined by One-way ANOVA. ****P < 0.0001.
