Cells were infected with various PRRSV isolates. At 3 days postinfection, cells were fixed and stained with MAb SDOW-17-FITC and examined under a fluorescence microscope for nucleocapsid expression. ++++, many positive cells; +++, moderate number of positive cells; ++, some positive cells; +, very few positive cells; −, negative.
