Extended Data Fig. 3. B cells do not establish residency in the upper reproductive tract following immunization and challenge with HSV-2.
C57BL/6 mice were immunized intravaginally with TK− HSV-2. Five weeks later, mice were challenged with ivag WT HSV-2. One day after, the number of CD138+CD19+, CD138+CD19−, and CD138−CD19+ cells in cervix and uterus was analyzed by flow cytometry (naïve; n=4, immune; n=6, immune/WT HSV-2; n=6). Data are mean ± SEM. Data are pooled from two independent experiments. Statistical significance was analyzed by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test.
