T
he slides seen here are from the lab of Barbara
Mann, PhD '84, associate professor in the
Department of Medicine's Division of Infectious
Diseases and International Health.
The slides show the lung histology from
transgenic human ACE2 mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. The major
histopathology findings in infected mice were proteinaceous debris
in the alveolar space, neutrophils in the interstitial space, and
alveolar septal thickening. Panel A shows an infected lung, and
Panel B is the control.
