HSV-1 genome copies per TG latent mouse. The number of HSV-1 genomes per sample was determined to show equivalent infections among the viruses. The relative numbers of copies of HSV-1 DNA polymerase and mouse Tsix were determined by PCR using 5 mice (10 TG) that were latently infected with 17Syn+, 17Δ348, or KD6. TG were harvested at 28 days postinfection, and DNA was extracted. The data are presented as a ratio of HSV-1 DNA pol (polymerase) to Tsix. One-way ANOVA of the individual ratios of DNA pol to Tsix showed no significant difference in HSV-1 copies between the viruses. The error bars indicate standard deviations from the mean.
