Figure 3From: Pathogenic mechanisms implicated in the intravascular coagulation in the lungs of BVDV-infected calves challenged with BHV-1Representative graphic of the valuation of factor VIII-positive platelet clusters detected by immunohistochemical method. These score values were obtained for the analysis of 100 fields (0.2 mm2 each) from the lung of calves (n = 2 per time point) inoculated with BHV-1.1 (a) versus calves inoculated with BVDV and BHV-1.1 (b). The results are given as follows: absent (−), mild (+), moderate (++) and abundant (+++), and scored from absent to severe (0 to 3). (UI, BHV-1.1 un-infected: negative controls for the BHV-1 group and BVDV infection controls for the BVDV/BHV-1 group).Back to article page
