Figure 4

Effect of HSV-1 infection and irradiation on HMK cell viability. Viability ratings were measured from quadruplicate monolayer cultures from two independent experiments in 24-well plates and tested using Mann–Whitney U-test. Mean values are shown + SEM. The values are referenced against the 24 h, nonirradiated uninfected cultures which have a viability rating of 100%. The dashed bar shows the result of six cultures infected with UV inactivated HSV-1 at 0.0001 MOI. This percentage result is from a separate experiment and is compared with its own appropriate uninfected, nonirradiated controls (p = 0.01). * = p ≤ 0.05 when comparing irradiated and non-irradiated cultures and ¤ = p ≤ 0.05 when uninfected and infected cultures are compared from the same time point.
