Further Observations on the Ultrastructure of Human Rotavirus

Erskine Palmer and Mary Lane Martin

Viral Diseases Division, Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia 30333, U.S.A.

The inner capsid layer of human rotavirus was found to preferentially break up into large ring-like morphological units. The outer capsid was found to be composed of capsomeres covered by a thin protein or glycoprotein covering. These capsomeres appeared to be broad headed and short stemmed, similar to the type of pin used to mark locations on a map (pushpin).

Keywords: human rotavirus, ultrastructure, capsid
