Figure 3From: Involvement of the skin during bluetongue virus infection and replication in the ruminant hostBTV viral proteins in tissue sections of different sheep lymph nodes at different time points post infection (pi) with BTV-2. A1/A2: BTV protein VP7 (ORAB36- green) in the lumen of a small blood vessel in the right prescapular lymph node (PLN) at 3 days post infection (dpi). Scale bar: 80 μm. B and C: Examples of the morphology and distribution of leukocytes positive for BTV proteins VP7 (ORAB36-green) and NS2 (ORAB53-red) in the PLN at 8 dpi. Scale bars: B: 8 μm C: 20 μm. D1/D2: BTV proteins NS2 (ORAB53-red) and VP7 (ORAB36-green) in the endothelium of a capillary in the mandibular lymph node at 8 dpi. Scale bar: 8 μm.Back to article page
