Immunofluorescence of enterovirus and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) capsid protein in cell cultures of selected virus positive cases. Green immunofluorescence of cultured cell monolayers infected with enterovirus (panel A) or human herpesvirus-6 (panel B). Virus strains isolated from the thyroid of representative AITD cases. Case number is reported in the lower left corner. Red: Evans Blue counterstain. The original magnification is indicated (20x or 40x). Enterovirus staining of the VP1 capsid protein antigen by monoclonal antibody 6-E9/2. HHV-6 staining of the 140KD capsid polypeptide by monoclonal antibody F24H.
