a
More pUL28 than pUL15 was detected in B capsids; P = 0.03.
b
More pUL28 was detected in B capsids than in A capsids; P = 0.06.
c
Less pUL15 was detected in B capsids than in A capsids; P = 0.08.
d
Less pUL15 was detected in pUL6(−) capsids than in A capsids; P = 0.08.
e
Less pUL28 than pUL15 was detected in A capsids; P = 0.07.
f
Capsids were purified on two sequential sucrose gradients, and the amount of protein present in each capsid was calculated using a standard curve of purified protein (see Materials and Methods). Statistical analyses were calculated using a two-tailed t test, and significant differences are indicated.
