Morphology study on Fixed Rabies Virus(Beijing Strain)in BHK_(21) Cells by Electron Microscopy

The BHK_21 cells infected with Beijing strain of fixed rabies virus were studied by electron mlcroscopy,The rod-like,bullet,round and oval viruses within the cytoplasm,mostly Iocated in the var-ious cisterna of rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and usually associated with homogeneous material masses.The virus may bud from their membranes towards the cisterna,protrude from the cellmembranes or dissociate in extracellular spaces.It was also found that viral formation and growth alsooccured in the nucl eus...
