H84T BanLec reduces the infectivity of HSV-1 but not HCMV in skin organ culture. HCMV and HSV-1 infected skin pieces from the assay shown in Fig. 4 were collected on the last day and processed for virus titration. (A) HCMV was measured by TCID50 assay in HFF cells (*p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test). (B) HSV-1 was measured by plaque assay in Vero cells with a methyl cellulose overlay. (*p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test). Bars and error bars represent the mean + SEM. N = 3–6 infected skin pieces per group.
