Virological analysis of mice following UV-B and/or CP reactivation.
| UV-B | CP | UV-B + CP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| % Positive swabsa | 34 | 33 | 37 |
| Peak titer (Log10)b | 4.85 ± 0.32 | 5.15 ± 0.34 | 5.4 ± 0.43 |
| Total shedding daysc | 21 | 19 | 24 |
| Days shedding/moused | 1.6 ± 0.14 | 1.7 ± 0.3 | 1.75 ± 0.35 |
| Reactivation ratee | 54% | 50% | 60% |
| Final day sheddingf | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 6 |
| n | 20 | 20 | 20 |
aThe percent positive swabs is the percentage of virus-positive eye swabs (140 to 286 eye swabs per group) over the 10-day period following treatment of NIH mice.
bPeak viral titer, which occurred on Day 3 post-reactivation expressed as log10 plaque forming unit.
cTotal shedding days number of days swab positive.
dDays shedding/mouse are the number of days that a positive mouse shed virus.
ePercent reactivation rate is the percentage of mice that reactivated.
fFinal day shedding was the last day that a mouse was positive for a particular group. There were no significant differences between any of these treatments by students t-test.
