ICP0-deficient HSV is able to initiate infection in cells harbouring quiescent KM110-R. Confluent monolayers of HEL cells were infected with 6 PFU/cell KM110-R. 4 days later the cells were mock treated or superinfected with n212 or n212-G (MOI 30), or KOS or KOS-G (MOI 10). Samples were harvested 18 hours later and analyzed by Flow cytometry. The intensity of red fluorescence is shown on the y-axis, and green fluorescence on the x-axis. The red and green dots indicate cells expressing RFP and GFP. The purple dots indicate cells that clearly expressed both proteins (however note that GFP expression interferes with the detection of RFP in most cells, see Methods). The proportion of cells scored as positive for expression of RFP (mock, n212, KOS) or GFP (KOS-G, n212-G) are indicated; values represent the average of four independent experiments. Standard deviations were mock: 4%, n212: 3%, KOS: 4%, n212-G: 2%, KOS-G: 0%.
