Intracellular traffic of a viral capsid the foamy virus
摘要
Panel 24. After a virus enters a cell, the capsid is released in the cytoplasm and can exploit the cell’s constituents to move within the cell. These photographs show “foamy” viruses. The inset shows the complete virus, consisting of a capsid (in orange) surrounded by an envelope (in yellow). This virus enters the cell through endocytosis vesicles, and its envelope fuses with the membrane of these vesicles to release the viral capsid inside the cell.
