title: The surface charge of L-A9 cells and Aedes albopictus cells infected with Marituba (Bunyaviridae) virus.
abstract: The surface charge of Marituba virus infected L-A9 cells and Aedes albopictus cells was estimated by direct measurement of their electrophoretic mobilities. Uninfected L-A9 cells and A. albopictus cells have mean electrophoretic mobilities of -1.083 microns/s X cm/V and -1.019 microns/s X cm/V, respectively. In Marituba virus infected L-A9 cells a progressive decline in the electrophoretic mobility was observed. In contrast, in Marituba virus infected A. albopictus cells the electrophoretic mobility of the cell surface was unaltered.
