a

IE3 FFU titers were determined by ICP4 staining for all three viruses. IE1 FFU were determined by staining for EGFP in vEG-dl110 infections. IE1-plus-ICP4 titers reflect cell numbers detected by staining simultaneously for ICP4 and EGFP. Further details are given in the text. The experiment was repeated, and similar results were obtained.
