Effects of H84T BanLec on adult skin. Skin was infected with HCMV, cultured on Netwells, and treated every other day with compounds in the medium. Skin was collected 14 DPI and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for H&E staining. The epidermis faces the right side of the image (appears purple) and the dermis is to the left (appears pink). The epidermis appears normal, and the dermal–epidermal junction is intact (HCMV replicates in dermal cells). Images are representative of 2–3 sections per tissue sample from a single tissue donor.
