ISH=in-situ hybridisation. IHC=immunohistochemistry. n/a=not applicable. Plus sign=positive. Minus sign=negative.
Results presented for sense/antisense probes (identical results for nucleoprotein and haemagglutinin).
Results presented for nucleoprotein/haemagglutinin signals (nucleoprotein mainly detected in nucleus and haemagglutinin in cytoplasm).
Includes putative T lymphocytes.
