    <p>Twelve animals were challenged once with 1 ml of undiluted (A) SHIV-AE6 (n = 4), (B) SHIV-AE6RM (n = 4), and (C) SHIV-AE16 (n = 4) stocks by the i.r. route. The upper panel shows plasma viral loads, and the lower panel shows the percentage of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in peripheral blood. The dotted line reflected the limit of detection of the assay (50 RNA copies/ml).</p

    <p>(A-B) TZM-bl cells were incubated for 1 h with different concentrations of the CCR5 inhibitor TAK-779 or the CXCR4 inhibitor AMD-3100 and subsequently were infected with 100 TCID<sub>50</sub> of the indicated SHIV stocks. The luciferase activity was quantified after 48 h. (C) GHOST cell lines expressing CXCR4 (X4) and/or CCR5 (R5) coreceptors were used, and inoculated with 100-TCID<sub>50</sub> SHIV stocks. Cell culture supernatant was collected for SIV p27 determination after 4 days of infection. All assays were done in triplicate. The means with standard deviation are shown.</p

    <p>Antibody-dependent enhancement of infection of U937 and K562 cells by ZIKV was assessed after 24 hours using the flow cytometry based infection assay. (A) Fold-enhancement curves for individual animals. Means of duplicate values are displayed. (B) Peak fold-enhancement values with the mean indicated by a red bar. Serum control is from naĂŻve group animal 10U043. DENV-immune and YFV-immune sample sizes (n) for this analysis are 5 and 3, respectively.</p
