Each symbol represents a single macaque, grouped by infection status after challenge. Control animals are shown by red triangles and received HMC gel, pH 6.0; 9 out of 9 became infected. Two monkeys received soluble mannan (50 mg ml-1) to try to block attachment to receptors such as DC-SIGN17 (black circles). The 68 animals given CMPD167, BMS-378806 or C52L, alone or in combination, are depicted by blue diamonds. The virus challenge was 30 min after inhibitor delivery, except for animals denoted as 'CMPD167 [5.0 mM] challenge delay 2–12 h' and 'BMS-368806 [5.5 mM] challenge delay 2–6 h'.
