Expression of HSV-1 miRNAs in latently HSV-1-infected versus noninfected human TG. The expression of the viral miRNAs is shown in ‰ let7a (median with interquartile range), a human housekeeping miRNA. All LAT⁺ TG show expression of viral miRNAs, whereas hardly any expression is seen in LAT⁻ TG. The difference in the viral miRNA expression of latently HSV-1-infected versus noninfected TG is statistically significant for the miRNAs H2-3p, H4-3p, H4-5p, and H5 (P < 0.05 [Mann-Whitney U test]).
