Viral load between the corneas that develop mild or severe HSK lesions were equivalent at the indicated time points postinfection. Eyes were swabbed at the indicated time points postinfection and viral titer was determined by a standard plaque assay. Data shown are indicative of two independent experiments with 12 samples per group. Viral titers from mild and severe lesions at each time point were analyzed using Student's t-test (P > 0.05). Results are reported as the mean titer ± SEM.
