DDX17 and infection: At the early infection stages, the number of ASFV-positive cells based on p30-IHC was significantly higher than that of p72-IHC (3 dpi in spleen, 5 dpi in lymph node, and 5, 7 dpi in thymus), as evidenced by Figures-2d–f and Figure 3, indicating the superiority of p30-qPCR over p72-qPCR in detecting ASFV.
