Macaques were treated vaginally with MZC daily for 2 wks or once rectally. A) MIV-150 was measured by LCMS/MS in the plasma of vaginally (n = 6, filled circles) and rectally (n = 6, filled squares) treated macaques at various time points after the last gel application. B) Tissue biopsies (n = 12 per time point/type of tissue) and C) swabs (n = 6 per condition) were collected at the indicated times following the last gel and MIV-150 was measured (by LCMS/MS for tissues and RIA for swabs). The mean (± SD) concentrations of MIV-150 for each treatment group are shown (rectal, R; vaginal, V; cervical, C).
