Title: Comparative ultrastructural studies of insect granulosis and nuclear polyhedrosis viruses. Author: Beaton CD, Filshie BK. Journal: J Gen Virol; 1976 May; 31(2):151-61. PubMed ID: 778335. Abstract: Optical diffraction studies indicated that the periodic lattice structure in electron micrographs of the capsids of two granulosis and two nuclear polyhedrosis viruses were indistinguishable. The capsid is composed of stacked rings spaced 4-5 nm apart. Comparison of the intracellular forms of Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus with negatively stained virus particles leads to encourage the more general use of the term 'capsid' instead of 'intimate membrane' and the term 'virus membrane' in place of 'developmental membrane'. These terms are consistent with those currently used for most animal and plant viruses.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
