Morphology of the retroviruses associated with AIDS and SAIDS

G Lecatsas et al. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

Thin section electron microscopy of tissue culture preparations of viruses associated with AIDS and SAIDS have shown that the mature particles have a similar morphology following budding from the cell membrane. The model provided explains the various core morphologies seen in section and provides a basis for identifying these agents in clinical tissues.
