Adenoviruses En Route to Infection (VIDEO)

University of Zurich

Caption

Red-colored adenovirus particles are found in the periphery of a human epithelial cell and steadily move towards the cell nucleus at the bottom of the image. The endocytic vesicles in the cell are colored green. Most of the viruses do not move together with these endosomes, but rather towards the nucleus with other molecules of the cell which are not shown here. (Vertical axis = 11μm)
