Morphological Characteristics of Nucleocapsids of Varicella-Zoster Virus Strain J
Abstract: The nucleocapsids of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strain J1 isolated hy Dr. Hun Shi-jie et al in Jinan in 1990 were studied with electron microscope. Three distinct species of nucleocapsids of VZV strain Jl designated as either A, B or C on the basis of their electron densities, were cheracterized. Type A, B and C nucleocapsids possess a densely stained core, particleshaped core and light or empty core respectively. The nucleocapsids are 75—100nm and cores are 35—55nm in diameter. All the three species were...
