Seropositivity for West Nile Virus Antibodies in Patients Affected by Myasthenia Gravis

Figure

Figure 1. Anti-WNV antibodies in patients’ sera detected by indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique; positive immunofluorescent signal on cytoplasm of WNV-infected cells substrate, observed at × 20 (A and C) and × 40 magnification (B and D). Negative control did not show any fluorescent signals.
