Lassa virus (LASV) targeting endothelial cells in the eye in study of LASV targeting of anterior uvea and endothelium of cornea and conjunctiva in eye. Co-staining for LASV antigen (red) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (an endothelial marker, brown) in vessels at the margin of the cornea and within the conjunctiva show colocalization of LASV and endothelial antigens (arrowheads). Original magnification ×10; insets enlarged to ×63.
