Figure 4From: Relationships of CD163 and CD169 positive cell numbers in the endometrium and fetal placenta with type 2 PRRSV RNA concentration in fetal thymus Relationship between ratio of \({\mathbf{CD163}}_{{{\mathbf{endo}}}}^{{\mathbf{ + }}}\) : \({\mathbf{CD163}}_{{{\mathbf{plc}}}}^{{\mathbf{ + }}}\) and PRRSV RNA concentration in fetal thymus. Scatter plot of ratio of numbers of CD163+ cells in the endometrium and CD163+cells in fetal placenta (Y axis), and PRRSV RNA concentration (log10 copies/mg) in fetal thymus (X-axis). Each dot represents one fetus. Results indicate that PRRSV RNA concentration in fetal thymus is positively associated with ratio of \({\text{CD163}}_{{{\text{endo}}}}^{{{ + }}}\):\({\text{CD163}}_{{{\text{plc}}}}^{{{ + }}}\) (all fetuses with viral load less than 6 log10 per mg had endo:plc ratios less than 0.4).Back to article page
