Figure 1From: Microbicide excipients can greatly increase susceptibility to genital herpes transmission in the mouse The filled circles are the averages for groups of 60 mice for each viral dose. The curve is the best fit of the Michaelis-Menten relationship, f = 1/(1 + dose-1), for the dose response data. The black square shows that 50% of animals treated with GML in KYWJ became infected with a viral dose of 0.1 ID50, and the dashed arrow indicates that this treatment caused a 10-fold increase in susceptibility (see Table 2).Back to article page
