Fig. 3: Effect of vaccination on the number of animals with latent HSV-2 challenge virus in the DRG at 63 dpi.

Following the evaluation of animals for recurrent disease, animals were sacrificed, the DRGs obtained and the quantity of challenge virus was quantified by PCR. The number above the bar indicates the number of animals positive for challenge virus/total number of animals in each group. a P < 0.02 vs No Vaccine, b P < 0.03 vs R2 IM.
