Figure 5

Photos of HSV-1infected Vero cells. Each photo is representative of a common field observed for each treatment that was conducted in triplicate. Treatment groups: (A-B) Nontreated controls; (C-D) devices containing 0:100 (w:w) ACV:PCL (VASE). (E-F) devices containing 30:70 (w:w) ACV:PCL (VASE). (G-H) devices containing 30:70 (w:w) ACV:PCL (SID). (I-J) devices containing 50:50 (w:w) ACV:PCL (VASE). (K-L) ACV solution at 25 μg/mL. All photos in the top row show cells that were mock infected; photos in the bottom row show cells that were infected with HSV-1 (KOS) at an MOI of 1.
