C, control; CM, chorionic membrane; D, decidua; H, human; M, myometrium P, placenta; R, rhesus; RP, retained placenta; SV, syncytial villi; TS, trophoblastic shell; U, uterus. Infection information was provided from clinical documentation either from a routine pathology report for human cases or a necropsy report for NHPs.
Cases with 2 samples each, highest inflammation score reported in above table: case 4 details (score of 2 for sample with M + D; score of 0 for sample with D+TS+SV+CM), case 5 details: (score of 3 for sample with M + D; score of 2 for sample with D+TS), case 6 details: (score of 0 and 1 for first and second samples, both samples with all layers present).
Case without clinical documentation of infection but inflammation seen on H&E.
