Induction of CB-D28k in spinal cord motor neurons by infection of hamsters by WNV.

<p>Hamsters were injected subcutaneously with NY99 WNV or sham (uninfected cell homogenate), and necropsied when WNV-infected animals could not right themselves. The cervical spinal cord was processed for immunohistochemistry (left). Intensity of CB-D28k was plotted from tissues in WNV- and sham-infected hamsters (right). Each dot represents individual cells from 4 different hamsters. ***P≤0.01 using t test.
