Table 4. Rate (%) of EMA-positive cells ± SD in both the epithelium and lamina propria of a region of HSV1-negative and of a region of HSV1-positive cells (virus plaque) at 0, 12, 24 and 36 h post inoculation (pi).
% EMA-positive cells at … h pi | ||||
0 | 12 | 24 | 36 | |
HSV1-negative epithelium | 0.4±0.1 | 0.3±0.2 | 0.4±0.2 | 0.3±0.2 |
HSV1-negative lamina propria | 0.4±0.3 | 0.7±0.5 | 0.5±0.5 | 0.3±0.1 |
HSV1-positive epithelium | ND | 0.8±1.4 | 1.2±0.3* | 1.0±0.6 |
HSV1-positive lamina propria | ND | ND | 0.1±0.2 | 0.5±0.5 |
ND = not determined; no HSV1-positive cells were found.
* Significant differences compared with the control (HSV1-negative tissue) at the 0.05 level.
