Figure 2From: Identification of molecular biomarkers associated with disease progression in the testis of bulls infected with Besnoitia besnoitiImmunohistochemistry in the scrotal skin, pampiniform plexus and testicular parenchyma from acutely and chronically infected bulls. A Widespread presence of T-lymphocytes (CD3 + cells) associated with blood vessels in the scrotal skin from a acutely infected bull with juveniles cysts (bull no. 6); B CD3 + T-lymphocytes surrounding tissue cysts in the pampiniform plexus from a chronically infected bull (bull no. 10); C Diffuse presence of macrophages (iba-1 + cells) in focal areas of vasculitis and surrounding juvenile tissue cysts in the scrotal skin of an acutely infected bull (bull no. 3); D iba-1 + macrophages surrounding tissue cysts without diffuse inflammation in the pampiniform plexus of a chronically infected bull. (bull no. 10); E CD3 + T-lymphocytes surrounding tissue cysts in the scrotal skin from a chronically infected bull (bull no. 10); F Immunohistochemical detection of several active macrophages MAC387 + surrounding tissue cysts in the testicular parenchyma from a chronically infected bull (bull no. 10).Back to article page
