Table 1.
Distribution of virus particles produced by BAC-CHv and the gE mutant and revertant virusesa.
| Virus | Nucleus | Cytoplasm | Cell surface | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nonenveloped | Nonenveloped | Enveloped | Enveloped | |
| BAC-CHv | 36 (426)b | 10 (168) | 75 (901) | 22 (242) |
| BAC-CHv-∆gE | 30 (331) | 39 (394) | 6 (92) | 3 (31) |
| BAC-CHv-∆gE Rev | 32 (416) | 12 (204) | 73 (950) | 20 (204) |
aDEF cells were infected with BAC-CHv and the gE mutant and revertant viruses for 20 h. The cells were fixed, sectioned, and then examined by electron microscopy.
bThe numbers of unenveloped nucleocapsids or enveloped virions were counted in approximately 10 to 20 randomly chosen cells. The numbers in parentheses are the total numbers of particles.
