Fuzzy material surrounding measles virus nucleocapsids identified as matrix protein. Brief report.
Measles virus grown in Vero cell cultures was examined at the ultrastructural level after immunoperoxidase staining with antiserum against the matrix protein. The antiserum clearly preferentially labeled the fuzzy material surrounding cytoplasmic nucleocapsids, but not the nucleocapsids themselves.
