B) Higher magnification showing the details of the metaplastic epithelium, accompanied by focal necrosis. Compare to the adjacent unaffected area, which is lined by normal ciliated columnar epithelial cells. C and D) Immunohistochemical staining of the corresponding field shows presence of viral antigen limited to the region of epithelial abnormality. A and B, hematoxylin and eosin stain; C and D, immunoperoxidase staining with vaccinia antibody. Original magnification: A and C, 4× objectives; B and D, 20× objectives.
