Infection of mCherry encoding influenza virus in the lung airways

3D image of lungs infected with the virus imaged by light sheet microscopy (LSM) 4 days post infection. The influenza infected airways are depicted in red. Green: auto fluorescence of the lung stroma. Note the high specificity of the virus towards the airways and the large peribronchial vessel (green) surrounding the virus infected bronchi (red).
