Figure 2

Immunolabelled cell populations in mediastinal lymph node of PRRSV-1 infected pigs. A. CD3 staining for T cells detection; it was observed a general T cell depletion during this study for all PRRSV infected groups, otherwise the T cell immunolabeled cells increased in F at 7 dpi. B. CD79a staining for B cell staining in follicle, where was evidence a B cell depletion at 3 and 7 dpi for all PRRSV infected animals. C. Macrophage detection with MAC-387 staining, the amount of immunolabeled macrophages increased along this study in SU1-Bel infected pigs. The bars represent s-qic mean values; asterisks indicated the statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) against the control group. It is important to note that only a few animals in the control groups showed a higher number of immunolabeled cells in the follicle compared to the rest of animals within this group. For this reason there is a bar in some control groups.
