Viral DNA in the Trigeminal Ganglion After Heat-Stress-Induced Reactivation in Mice^a

Treatment	No. of ganglion pairs analyzed	Mean (± SD) gene copy Numberb
Untreated	20	1.4 × 106 ± 0.9 × 101
Oral vehicle	10	1.4 × 106 ± 0.8 × 101
Oral BAY 57-1293	20	2.4 × 102 ± 0.5 × 101

^aLatent mice were heat-stressed and not treated, vehicle-treated, or drug-treated by oral administration. Twenty-four (24) h later, the mice were euthanized and their ganglia analyzed for viral DNA.

^bThe mean number of viral polymerase gene copies in the ganglia of the mice treated orally with BAY 57-1293 was significantly smaller than the numbers of copies in the ganglia from the other groups of mice (P < 0.0001).
