FIG. 2.
Viral replication in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice infected with KOS-GFP. C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice that received either 0, 4, or ∼30 scratches per eye (no, light, or heavy scarification, respectively) were inoculated with 105 PFU of HSV-1 strain KOS-GFP/eye (n = 5 mice per group). For mice that received no (A), light (B), or heavy (C) scarification, mean viral titers recovered from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse eyes (PFU per eye) are plotted as a function of the day after inoculation on which samples were collected. Error bars, SEM.
