Detection of Siaα2-3 Gal and Siaα2-6 Gal IAV receptors in the brain of chickens using the lectins MAAII and SNA, respectively. Slight staining for Siaα2-3 Gal receptors was found on endothelial cells (A) and ependymal cells, whereas the apical membrane of choroid plexus cells showed an abundant presence of Siaα2-3 Gal receptors (C). Intense staining for Siaα2-6 Gal receptors was observed on endothelial cells in the brain and choroid plexus cells. (bar = 50 μm).
