Cytomegalovirus: the relationship of nucleocapsid assembly to the organization of cellulae

Arch Virol. 1986;91(3-4):351-6. doi: 10.1007/BF01314293.

Abstract

Ultrastructural analysis of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced nuclear inclusions (NI) revealed a consistent organizational pattern that may have a relationship to the assembly of virus particles. The NI consisted of cellulae that were divided into three zones based on the extent of development of virus particles.
