TABLE 2.
Cytoplasmic and cell surface distribution of capsids produced by the gE− US9− double mutant F-gE/US9-GFP in SK-N-SH neuronsa
| Virus | No. of capsids (% of all capsids) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unenveloped cytoplasmic | Partially enveloped cytoplasmic | Enveloped cytoplasmic | Cell surface virion | |
| F-gE/US9-GFP-R | 16 (3.2) | 20 (3.9) | 41 (8.0) | 435 (85) |
| F-gE/US9-GFP | 277 (51) | 156 (29) | 53 (10) | 55 (10) |
EM images of 7 or 8 HSV-infected cells (that possessed large numbers of capsids) were analyzed by counting and characterizing the capsids.
