Monocyte-derived macrophages, monocyte-derived dendritic cells and T cells were incubated with R5 viruses in the presence of increasing concentrations of C14 for 3 hours at 37°C
Cells were then washed and incubated with polyclonal human anti-gp160 antibodies. The staining was revealed with FITC-conjugated mouse anti-human IgG mAbs. Cells were then analysed by confocal microscopy. The experiment was performed 3 times with cells from three different donors. 30 cells were at least analyzed for each donor.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Pre-clinical development as microbicide of zinc tetra-ascorbo-camphorate, a novel terpenoid derivative: Potent in vitro inhibitory activity against both R5- and X4-tropic HIV-1 strains without significant in vivo mucosal toxicity"</p><p>http://www.aidsrestherapy.com/content/5/1/10</p><p>AIDS Research and Therapy 2008;5():10-10.</p><p>Published online 3 Jun 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2426711.</p><p></p
