Characterization of virus-induced liver disease in 3d mice.

<p>Livers were harvested from C57BL/6 (WT) (A, C, E, G) or 3d mice (B, D, F, H) that were either uninfected (A and B) or infected for 3 (C and D), 5 (E and F) or 7 (G and H) days with MCMV (5×10⁴ PFU). Paraffin-embedded blocks were sectioned, stained with H&E, and analyzed by microscopy. Images were digitally captured at the original magnification of ×10 or at ×20 (inset in D). Arrowheads in C and E indicate inflammatory foci; arrows and inset in D indicate cytomegalic inclusions; open arrowheads in F denote areas of inflammation.
