From: Rift Valley fever virus detection in susceptible hosts with special emphasis in insects
Comparison of epitope expression in mammal and insect specimens with intracytoplasmic (arrowheads) or intranuclear (arrows), granular signals for Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Figure 1–3: Immunoreactivity in RVFV-infected C6/36 cell pellet for the antibodies Np9 (1), Gc9A9 (2) and NSs5F12 (3). Figure 4–9: Immunohistochemical demonstration of the antibodies Np9 (4-5), Gc9A9 (6-7) and NSs5F12 (8-9) in RVFV-infected Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus (Fig. 4, 6, 8) and Aedes aegypti (Fig. 5, 7, 9). Figure 10: Immunoreactivity in RVFV-infected Drosophila melanogaster yellow-white for the antibody Np9. Figure 11: Immunohistochemical demonstration of the antibody Gc9A9 in Drosophila melanogaster cinnabar brown. Figure 12–13: Immunoreactivity in RVFV-infected ovine liver tissue for the antibodies Np9 (12) and Gc9A9 (13). Figure 14–15: Immunohistochemical demonstration of the antibodies S24Np (14) and Gc9A9 (15) in RVFV-infected C57Bl/6-IFNARtmAgt murine liver tissue. Note the signal within multifocal lesions in ovine liver samples (Fig. 12–13). In contrast, C57Bl/6-IFNARtmAgt mice exhibited a diffuse expression of Rift Valley fever antigen (Figure 14–15). am anterior midgut, c cardia, d diverticulum, e esophagus, fm flight muscle, sg salivary gland, tg thoracic ganglia, t trophocytes.
