Figure 6From: Altering α-dystroglycan receptor affinity of LCMV pseudotyped lentivirus yields unique cell and tissue tropismLocalization of neonatal transduction in murine tissues. FIV vectors expressing the LacZ gene were injected into neonatal mice. Three weeks post-injection, organs were removed and cryosectioned (8 μm). 4X and 20X magnification images are shown for FIV-GP64 transduced hearts (A-B) and livers (G-H) following X-gal staining. Similar images are displayed for FIV-L260F transduced hearts (C-D) and livers (I-J) and FIV-WE54 transduced hearts (E-F) and livers (K-L). Spleen and kidneys of vector-transduced animals were negative. Slides were counterstained with nuclear fast red. Scale bar in A is 500 μm; B is 200 μm. n = 3.Back to article page
