Activity of Kudzu in combination with antiretrovirals. a Combination of Kudzu with different cocktails of antiretrovirals prescribed to HIV-1 patients. HeLa-CD4-LTR-LacZ cells were infected with HIV-1 NL4-3 strain in presence of different amounts of Kudzu or the indicated antiretrovirals. β-Gal activity was measured 72 h later. The IC50 of the cocktails or Kudzu alone (black) or the mix of both at different ratios (orange, green, and blue) are represented. Results represent the mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. b Activity of Kudzu in HeLa-CD4-LTR-LacZ cells infected with viruses resistant to Enfuvirtide. HeLa-CD4-LTR-LacZ cells were infected in presence of different dilutions of Kudzu. β-Gal activity was measured 72 h later. AMD3100 and Enfuvirtide used at 10 nM and 0.15 μg/ml respectively. Data is the mean ± SD of 2 independent experiments
