Table 4.

Viral DNA copy numbers in vaginal (V) and anal (A) tracts of three mice infected with L1-L2ATGko mutant MmuPV1 over time.

Mouse	Week 4	Week 7	Week 9	W11
#1V	5 × 105	ND	7.5 × 104	3.5 × 105
#2V	5.2 × 105	8.76 × 105	8.3 × 105	1.5 × 106
#3V	6.6 × 105	ND	6.7 × 104	1.1 × 105
#1A	1 × 106	ND	8.5 × 104	2.4 × 105
#2A	4.0 × 105	ND	ND	ND
#3A	8.8 × 105	ND	ND	ND

V—vagina, A—anus, ND—not detected. Significant differences were found in viral DNA copy numbers between the vaginal and anal tract in L1-L2ATGko mutant-infected mice at all time points post viral infection (p < 0.05, unpaired Student’s t-test).
