A,C,E abdominal aortas collected from control uninfected IFN-γR-/- mice 2 months after whole body irradiation. B,D,F aortas collected from MCMV infected IFN-γR-/- mice 4 months after infection and 2 months after whole body irradiation.A&B staining specific for TGF-β1. C & D staining specific for PDGF-A. E & F staining specific for PDGF-B. Objective magnification x 40
