Effect of restraint stress on NK cell numbers. Mice were subjected to restraint stress (STRESS) or food-and-water deprivation (FWD) and infected with 5 × 106 pfu HSV-1. Control mice were mock-infected with PBS. At two days post-infection, mice were euthanized, and lymphocytes from the vaginal tissue were collected. The percentage of CD3-NK1.1+ NK cells was determined via flow cytometry, and total numbers of NK cells were quantified as described in the Materials and Methods. n = 4 for all groups. * Significant difference (p < 0.05) between the indicated groups.
