^aH&E stained sections of salivary gland tissues from infected BALB/c mice were compared after i.g. tcMCMV, i.g. MCMV or i.p. MCMV inoculation. Sections were scored by three blinded observers with 2 – 3 slides for each time point. Values were obtained by pooling scores from both observers from each time point.

^bMice i.p. sham-inoculated with salivary gland homogenate or i.g. sham-inoculated with 3T12 homogenate were used as controls.

^c0=normal, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe (as described in Methods and Materials)
