Cytopathic effect induced by WT MCMV or mutant virus. (a) Monolayers of C127I epithelial cells infected with WT MCMV or the ΔM24-m25.2 mutant were visualized 72 h p.i. by fluorescence and light microscopy. Foci of infected cells were detected utilizing virus-driven GFP expression. (b) The scheme illustrates the genome structure of the mutants. The HindIII cleavage map of the MCMV Smith strain genome is depicted at the top and the genomic region encompassing ORFs M24 to M26 is shown enlarged below. Inline graphic, kanamycin resistance gene; ---, deleted sequences; → , orientation of ORFs; ▪, FRT sites. (c) Cells infected with the indicated viruses were examined by fluorescence microscopy 48 h p.i. Scale bars, 100 µm.
