Fig. (3)

Detergent-stripped human herpes simplex viral particles move in the retrograde direction when injected into the giant axon of the squid [97]. Shown are still frames from a video of GFP-labeled viral particles moving in the squid axon taken at 5 second intervals. Two viral particles (arrows) move across the screen relative to fixed patterns (horizontal arrow) in the background. The last panel shows the orientation of the axon, but is not drawn to scale. The two particles move on slightly different tracks but at a very similar velocity, ~2.2 μm/sec. (Supplementary video material available at http://biomed.brown.edu/Faculty/B/Bearer.html).
