title: CPV, a stable and symmetrical machine for mRNA synthesis.
abstract: The structure of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV), an insect pathogen from the Reoviridae family of double-strand RNA viruses, has been determined at 8 A by electron cryomicroscopy and image reconstruction. It provides new information about the functions of these viral particles as stable machines for mRNA synthesis.
