"The lysates were then sedimented on sucrose gradients. A light-scattering band was visualized using reflected light (Fig. 2C EBV-ALL). This band was harvested by side puncture, and the material was examined by TEM following negative staining. Icosahedral closed capsid structures were evident, and the capsomeres made up of major capsid protein (BcLF1) were clearly visible (Fig. 2D). The diameter of negatively stained EBV capsids was calculated to be 137.4±1.85 nm (n=25)." |
