TABLE 2.

Quantitation of immunogold labeling of envelope and capsid proteins in HSV-1 particles in the presence or absence of EGCG^a

Proteinb	% Labeled		P value
	Control	EGCG treated
gB	72.0 ± 4.11	43.4 ± 6.45	1 × 10−9
gD	71.5 ± 3.63	33.5 ± 2.46	1 × 10−9
155-kDa nucleocapsid	63.7 ± 4.11	61.1 ± 8.68	0.40c

^aTen separate fields and 100 virus particles in each field were counted. Values are means ± standard deviations. A 100 μM EGCG concentration was used.

^bgB and gD were labeled with monoclonal antibodies.

^cNo statistically significant difference.
