Figure 1From: Distribution of sialic acid receptors and influenza A virus of avian and swine origin in experimentally infected pigsThe distribution of lectin staining in the respiratory tract of pigs. Diagram showing the score distribution of the three lectins MAAI (SA-α-2,3-terminal saccharides), MAAII (SA-α-2,3) and SNA (SA-α-2,6) at the epithelial cells of alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, and nose. (Score 1: 0-20%, 2: 20-40%, 3: 40-60%, 4: 60-80% and 5: 80-100%). The diagram is based on an average of both infAv positive (n = 8) and infAv negative (n = 13) pigs. Only scoring data from unconsolidated areas of the tissue sections is included in the figure.Back to article page
