Table 1.

Viral proteins accumulate to RCs. “Microscopic analysis” means that the localization to RCs of the viral protein was improved by IFA. “N/A” indicates that the localization to RCs of the viral protein was not improved by IFA but that it was estimated to accumulate in RCs by co-immunoprecipitation analysis with viral proteins recruited to RCs or other functional assays.
