Sindbis virus infected L cells studied by ferritin-labelled antibodies. 1975

B Wagner, and A Veckenstedt, and M Wagner

Sindbis virus infected L cells were examined by immunoferritin technique at different times after infection. Initially virus-specific antigens appeared diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm and at the surface of vacuoles. Later on, both labelled nucleocapsids surrounding vacuoles and mature virus within their lumen were demonstrated. Maturation of virus occurred predominantly at the periphery of cells, and that mainly by budding from cell processes. The appearance of big crystals consisting of nucleocapsids is a typical event of late stages of infection. These findings are compared with corresponding fluorescent antibody results.

D005293	Ferritins	Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
