TABLE 2.
Cell line | Virus | No. of nuclear capsidsa | No. of cell surface virions or L particles |
---|---|---|---|
HEC-1A | KOS | 516 | 853 |
HEC-1A | TsProt.A | 1,066 | 5 |
BHK-21 | TsProt.A | 650 | 84 |
HEC-1 or BHK-21 cells were infected with wild-type HSV-1 KOS or TsProt.A for 19 h at 39°C, and then the cells processed for electron microscopy. The number of capsids in the nucleus or cell surface-enveloped virions or the number of L particles in 10 to 15 cells was determined.
