Pharmacological evaluation of an <i>ex vivo</i> cervicovaginal HIV prevention model
We identified differences in DMET expression and ARV metabolism between ecto- and endocervical tissues, as well as correlations between DMET and IL-6. Ectocervical explants demonstrated consistent viral infectivity and dose-dependent inhibition. The model is useful in determining tenofovir diphosphate targets.
