Immunoelectron microscopy analysis of Gag distribution in MLV-infected cells and progeny viruses. Gag was detected by immunogold labeling in lowicryl embedded sections of MLV-infected cells. A) Extracellular virus particle (black arrow) released from the plasma membrane (black arrowhead) labeled with 5 nm gold particles. B) VLPs (black arrows) present in intracellular vacuoles (white arrows) were labeled with similar intensity as extracellular viruses. C) Magnification of intravacuolar Gag-labeled VLPs (arrows). Weak labeling was also observed on the vacuolar delimiting membrane (arrowhead).
