Figure 8

The fusion inhibitor T20 inhibits viral passage across the BeWo monolayer in contact with HIV-1/LAI infected CD4+ T cells. The experiment was designed as described for figure 3, except that purified CD4 positive T cells were used as effector cells, instead of whole PBMCs, for infection with HIV-1 LAI. The figure shows a dose-dependent inhibition of the interaction between BeWo-CD4 negative target cells and CD4+ T cells infected with HIV-1/LAI.
