Primary source: "Virions were approximately spherical (Figure 1), with diameters between 106 and 183 nm. The mean diameter, 125±14nm, was slightly smaller than that observed previously (Briggs et al., 2003 Wilk et al., 2001), reflecting a variability between different retroviral preparations
(Briggs et al., 2004b)." Immature virion size is 145nm according to Briggs 2004 PMID 15208690 p.674 right column top paragraph. See BNID 101667 |
