Fig 11. ORFV infects the infundibular region of hair follicles at early times p.i.
Sheep were scarified in the inner side of the thighs and infected with viruses OV-IA82Δ113GFP or OV-IA82RV113HA, or mock infected, and tissue samples collected at various times post-infection. Shown are representative confocal microscopy images at 24 h post-infection. *, outer side of the skin; dashed line, location of the basal membrane of epithelium; HF, lumen of hair follicles at the level of infundibular region; IFe, interfollicular epidermis; Fe, follicular epidermis; Green: GFP or ORFV113HA, Blue: DAPI.
