Ultrastructural features of fetal erythroid precursors infected with parvovirus B19 in vitro: Evidence of cell death by apoptosis
1 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
Human parvovirus B19 cannot be cultured in standard cell lines and relatively little is known about the intracellular life-cycle of the virus. In this study, ultrastructural features of B19 infection were examined using haemopoietic cell suspension cultures derived from human fetal liver. Erythroblasts from infected cultures frequently contained crystalline arrays of both full and empty virus-like particles. The...
