IHC for PRRSV, CD163, CD169, and cathepsin in the PRRSV-infected uterine-fetal placental tissues. A Strong immunopositive staining for PRRSV of uterine epithelial cells (arrow) of areola from PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for SDOW17, bar = 200 μm A and E. B PRRSV positive immunostained macrophage-like cell (arrow) in the endometrium of PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for SDOW17, bar = 100 μm B–D. C Strong cytoplasmic immunopositive staining for CD163 of macrophages (arrows) in the chorioallantois of PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for CD163. D Increased numbers of CD163 macrophages in highly inflamed areas (arrows) in the lamina propria of endometrium from the uterus of PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for CD163. E Positive CD169 cells (arrowheads) in the lamina propria of endometrium from the uterus of PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for CD169. F Cathepsin immunopositive stained areola (asterisk) at the uterus-fetal placenta interface from PRRSV-infected pregnant gilt. IHC for Cathepsin, bar = 500 μm.
