Histopathological analysis of goat placentomes. Histopathological examination of placentomes of representative goats from the ChAdOx1 RVF and mock-vaccinated groups are shown. The vaccine allocation and foetus numbers are indicated for each panel; these correspond to foetus and doe numbers in Fig. 3. For each panel, the letters represent: a H&E staining of the placentome, b IHC staining with RVFV mAb 4-D4, c Staining with Alizarin Red showing foci of calcium deposits, d same specimen as c but visualized under polarized light, e high magnification of H&E staining and f high magnification of IHC staining. Notice the calcium deposits (c and d, right column) and necrotic and calcified epithelium (arrows in e, right column) in the mock-vaccinated group. Scale bars = 5000 μm (a–d) and 100 μm (e and f)
