Figure EV2. Cryo‐electron tomography of purified and chemically fixed EBOV.

Figure EV2

  • A
    Slices through a tomogram showing an overview of filamentous virions. Condensed and decorated nucleocapsids span the length of each virion.
  • B, C
    Longitudinal and transverse cross‐section, respectively, of a tomogram containing a filamentous EBOV.
  • C
    Transverse cross‐section of the virion shown in (B). The VP40 matrix adjacent to the inner membrane monolayer is highlighted by a white arrow.
  • D
    Magnified area highlighted in (B) showing a longitudinal cross‐section of the VP40 densities lining the inner membrane monolayer.
  • E
    Line profile determined adjacent to the inner monolayer of the virion shown in (B) showing the approximately 6 nm pitch of the VP40 matrix.

Data information: Scale bars: (A), (B): 200 nm, (C): 50 nm, (D): 20 nm.
