EXAMPLE 3 Synthesis of third generation bis(methoxyol)propanoic (bis-MPA) based dendrimer bearing α( 1,2) α( 1,6)pseudomannotriose 15 To a solution of the third generation bis(methoxyol)propanoic (bis-MPA) based dendrimer 14 (7.6 mg, 0.001 153 mmol, 1 eq) in 100 μL of dry DMA under nitrogen atmosphere, HATU (28.1 mg, 0.074 mmol, 64 eq) and DIPEA (26 μL, 0.148 mmol, 128 eq) were added. After 15 minutes a solution of 10 (35.7 mg, 0.06 mmol, 52 eq) in dry DMA (230 μL) was added. The reaction was stirred at 1
oom temperature for 2 days. MALDI mass analysis of a sample of the reaction mixture showed the completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was diluted in methanol and charged directly onto a LH- 20 Sephadex column in methanol. Slow elution led to the purification of the product 15 that was isolated in good yield (25.5 mg, 88% yield). 1 H-NMR (400 MHz, D2 O) δ (ppm): 5.00 (s, H I M -). 4.84 (s, H 1M ), 4.40-4.10 (m, OCH 2 CH 2 N 3 , CH 2 O a, CH 2 O b, CH 2 O c), 4.04 (s, D 2 ), 3.97 (bs, H 2M ), 3.92 (s, H 2 M), 3.89-3.53 (m, H 3 M', β β, H M Θ.

EXAMPLE 4 Infection Studies B-THP-1/DC-SIGN cells are derived from B-THP-1 human B cell line by transfection of DC-SIGN expression vector in order to express high levels of the DC-SIGN receptor. This cell line supports efficient DC-SIGN mediated HIV transmission and is a wide-used model system to mimic HIV capture and transmission to T-lymphocytes by dendritic cells (see, as a general reference, Geijtenbeek, T.B.H.; Torensma, R.; Van Vliet, S.J.; van Duijnhoven, G .C.F.; Adema, G.J:; van Kooyk, Y.; Figdor, CG. Ce//, 2000, 100, 575- 585). B-THP- 1/DC-SIGN cells were preincubated for 30 minutes either in the presence or in the absence of the DC-SIGN inhibitors prior to 3 hours exposure to the virus
