Fig 7
Histological examinations of lung in 21-day-old gerbils challenged with humane doses 100×HD50 EV71.
(A) Gerbils receiving EV71-antisera revealed no evidence of inflammation and structures of the lungs appeared intact. (B) Gerbils receiving the mock sera, lung structures were damaged and multiple foci of pulmonary interstitial inflammatory were observed. Hematoxylin and eosin stain; magnification: A, B 200x.
