Intravesicular assembly of VLPs in αRep9A8-expressing insect cells. Electron micrographs of ultrathin sections of AcMNPVgag-infected Sf/(Myr+)αRep9A8-GFP cells at 48hrs post-infection. The cell presented in panel (a) shows the abnormal accumulation of Pr55Gag polyprotein at the plasma membrane, and the occurrence of VLPs within intracytoplasmic vesicles. Panels (b,c) present different cell sections at high magnification, showing simultaneous intravesicular budding and plasma membrane budding of VLPs. IC, intercellular space; EC, extracellular space; PM, plasma membrane; Cy, cytoplasm; IV, intracellular vesicle; Nu, nucleoplasm; NM, nuclear membrane.
