Human T-Lymphotropic Virus-1 Visualized at the Virological Synapse by Electron Tomography
- Published 2008 in PloS one
Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is transmitted directly between cells via an organized cell-cell contact called a virological synapse (VS). The VS has been studied by light microscopy, but the ultrastructure of the VS and the nature of the transmitted viral particle have remained unknown. Cell-free enveloped virions of HTLV-1 are undetectable in the… (More)
