The gene product of E8R is concentrated in the ER surrounding the factory site
| Au/μm2 ER not associated with a DNA sitea | 2.29 ± 0.57 |
| Au/μm2 of ER around the DNA site | 4.78 ± 0.87 |
The values are the averages and the standard deviations of the means of 18 randomly photographed cell-profiles of cryosections prepared from cells infected for 3 h and labeled with the anti-E8R antibody.

Gold per μm2 (corresponding to the surface of the ER membrane, including a distance of 50 nm on both sides of the membrane; see MATERIALS AND METHODS) was estimated according to Griffiths, 1993.
