Figure Lengend Snippet: SNA, MAA-I and MAA-II lectin histochemistry within the bovine penis. Panels A1-3 represent MAA-II lectin staining which is specific for the α2,3-Galβ1-3 sialic acids which bind the duck adapted strain of IAV. Panel B represents MAA-I lectin staining which is specific for the α2,3-Galβ1-4 sialic acids which bind the chicken adapted strain of IAV.
