Figure. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for ovine astrovirus CH16 in brain tissues (hippocampus) of a sheep (ID 41669) with encephalitis using 2 polyclonal antisera targeted at the putative capsid protein of bovine astrovirus CH15. A) IHC using antiserum against the conserved region of the capsid protein showing positive staining (box at left; box at right shows area at higher magnification); B) negative control. C) IHC using antiserum against the variable regions of the capsid protein n showing positive staining (box at left; box at right shows area at higher magnification); D) negative control. Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
