Imaging analysis reveals budding of filamentous human metapneumovirus virions and direct transfer of inclusion bodies through intercellular extensions
8 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) can spread between cells through budding of virus particles or direct cell-to-cell spread. A network of budding filaments and intercellular extensions forms in HMPV-infected cells; however, the involvement of these structures in direct cell-to-cell spread of infection remains to be investigated. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, we show that budding filaments contain the...
