Virological analysis latently infected undergoing UV-B induced reactivation and those not UV-B treatment.

^aExtracts from NIH mice that possessed at least one pfu.

^bMean titer of virus ± standard error of the mean.

^cRange of viral titers.

^dNumber of animals in group for this single experiment.

Statistical analysis indicates that there is no difference between female and male UV-reactivated mice for % positive samples. For other comparisons between these two groups, female mice displayed greater levels for mean (P < 0.05) and for Range (P < 0.05). Comparison between UV-reactivated and latently infected only reveal that the UV-reactivated mice were greater for all parameters measured (P < 0.005).
