Accumulation of capsids and tegument proteins at axon terminals during viral egress. Axon terminals of dissociated DRG sensory neurons infected with the dual-fluorescent viruses were imaged 12–15 or 7–12 hpi (VP13/14 early) for accumulation of capsid and tegument proteins. Images of mRFP1 capsids, GFP tegument, and an overlay are shown for each virus. Labels at left indicate the GFP fusion expressed in each infection. All images are 33 μm × 39 μm. Axon terminals had varied morphologies typical of growth cones.
