Laboratory investigation; a journal of technical methods and pathology, 1994•europepmc.orgBackground The role of mucosal immunity in defense of the female genital tract against
pathogens such as herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) is poorly understood. Here we explored
the use of a new mouse model to determine whether local immune events in the vagina of
immune animals may protect them against genital herpes.
