Immunofluorescence staining of cultured cell monolayers infected with EV strains (green) isolated from the diabetic DiViD cases and the pancreatic adenocarcinoma cases without diabetes. Counterstaining with Evans blue (red). (a–i) Cytoplasmic staining of the enteroviral capsid protein using mAb 6-E9/2: (a) negative control: uninfected AV3 cell monolayer. DiViD cases: DiViD-1 (b; inset shows the granular pattern of cytoplasmic staining); DiViD-2 (c); DiViD-5 (d); DiViD-6 [(e) infection before filtration; (f) second passage after filtration through 100 nm membrane]. LPN cases without diabetes: LPN-01 [(g) infection before filtration; (h) second passage after filtration through 100 nm membrane]; LPN-15 (i). (l–n) Staining by mAb 3D-05 to the enteroviral RNA polymerase enzyme (speckled nuclear staining): DiViD-1 (j), DiViD-2 (k), DiViD-6 (l). Scale bars represent 100 μm or 50 μm in the higher-magnification picture (b, inset)
