Fig. 2From: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus replicates in brain tissues and damages neurons in newborn miceThe target cells of SFTSV in the brain tissues of newborn mice. A colocalization of SFTSV and neurons in the brain tissues of newborn mice. a and c indicated that SFTSV infected neurons in the cerebellum; b and d indicated that SFTSV infected neurons in the midbrain. NeuN, a marker protein of mature neurons, was labeled in red. B Colocalization of SFTSV, and macrophage in brain tissues of newborn mice. a-d respectively indicated that SFTSV infected macrophages in the cerebellum, midbrain, hindbrain, and thalamus. The marker protein F4/80 of macrophages was marked in red. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue); SFTSV NPs were marked Green. Bar = 50 μmBack to article page
