Transmission electron microscopy images of HEK 293 T cells expressing WT and mutant M-PMV CA-NTD. At 48 h post-transfection of HEK 293 T cells with WT or mutant proviral vector, the cells were fixed in glutaraldehyde and postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide. The sections were contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and analyzed using a JEOL JEM-1200EX analytical transmission electron microscope: (A) Immature particles assembled within the cells. (B) Mature viruses released from the cells. Bars: 100 nm.
