Coronaviruses, Including SARS
Coronaviruses, Including SARS. This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the thickened, layered edge of SARS infected Vero E6 culture cells. The thickened edges of the infected cells were ruffled, and appeared to be comprised of layers of folded plasma membranes. Note the layered cell edge (arrows) seen by SEM. Virus particles (arrowheads) are extruded from the layered surfaces.
