a
Mx protein expression as revealed by indirect immunostaining on formaldehyde-fixed tissue sections. Immunostaining was scored from 0 (no staining) to 3 (strong intracytoplasmic staining) and scores of 2 and 3 are shown in boldface type. The skin of calves was tested from day 18 before infection (day −18) through day 0 (day of virus inoculation) and up to day 24 postinfection.
