Antiviral Activity of a Zymolytic Grain Based Extract on Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 In Vitro

Figure 4

Anti-HIV-1 activity of ZGE in rats. (a) Two groups of rats were administered with ZGE or normal saline (NS) by gavage. Rat sera were harvested at different time points postadministration and analyzed by the luciferase indicator assay. Data represent mean ± SD from six rats. This experiment was performed in triplicate for each rat. Relative inhibition rates of the viral infectivity were calculated at each time point between the ZGE group and NS group. (b) The anti-HIV-1 activity from the serum of each ZGE-administrated rat was compared with the mean activity of the NS group rats (black column) at 1 h postadministration. The statistical significance was tested between the data of NS group and that of each rat.
