About ASV
The American Society for Virology is committed to growing and supporting a diverse and inclusive community of virologists, to promote research and education on viruses, and to foster engagement and open communication of discoveries.
Rotavirus triple-layered particles. Rotavirus virions are triple-layered particles with icosahedral symmetry. The spike protein and the glycoprotein VP7 compose the external layer. Meanwhile, a unique component, VP6, is part of the middle layer. The VP2 icosahedral internal layer or virus core encapsidates the eleven dsRNA genome segments. All twelve vertices of inner core contain VP1-VP3 complexes. The image represents high-definition transmission electron microscopy of rotavirus triple-layered particles purified from cell culture. After glutaraldehyde fixation, the particles were stained phosphotungstate. Acquired images were colored using Adobe Photoshop.
