Avian and Human Influenza A Virus Receptors in Bovine Mammary Gland
Figure 1
![Results of staining showing wide expression of the human receptor for influenza A virus (designated SNA) in the bovine mammary gland. A) An example of the SNA staining of a mammary gland from a cow in late lactation. Arrowhead indicates expression of the human receptor in the active alveoli. Asterisks indicate less staining in the less active alveoli. Original magnification ×10. B, C) SNA staining of a duct (B) and (C) an alveolus in a 7-year-old cow. Original magnification ×60. D, E) Positive staining obtained from the image analysis. Green line shows the region of interest. Original magnification ×60. F) A neuraminidase pretreatment negative control showed markedly reduced staining of the SNA lectin. Original magnification ×60. The staining was visualized using Vector Blue (Vector Laboratories, https://vectorlabs.com).](/eid/images/24-0696-F1.jpg)
