Figure 4. Immunohistochemical detection of West Nile virus antigen in brains of inoculated hamsters. The photomicrographs demonstrate strong cytoplasmic staining (red color) of large and small neurons in different regions. a. Cerebral cortex, day 8 postinfection. b. Hippocampus, day 7. c. Basal ganglia, day 7. d. Brain stem, day 10. Magnification: a-c 100x; d 50x.
