Detection of ZIKV antigens in fetal organs. (B,D,F,H,J,L,N,P,R,T) The flaviviral E and ZIKV-NS1 protein were detected in all tissues studied. (B,L) Microglial cells and neurons of the brain tissue were positive for ZIKV E protein and NS1, respectively. (D,N) ZIKV E and NS1 proteins were detected in alveolar macrophages. (F,P) Section of a skin dermis showed mononuclear cells of an inflammatory infiltrate and endothelial cells stained respectively to ZIKV E and NS1 proteins. (H,R) ZIKV E protein and NS1 detection in macrophages of the kidney. (J,T) Detection of ZIKV E protein and NS1 in hepatocytes, respectively. (A,C,E,G,I,K,M,O,Q,S) The E and NS1 antigens of ZIKV were not detected by immunohistochemistry in the control fetus.
