LIPID INCLUSIONS IN L CELLS ASSOCIATED WITH VENEZUELAN EQUINE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS VIRUS INFECTION
Abstract:
Hardy, Frank M. (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), and David Arbiter. Lipid inclusions in L cells associated with Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus infection. J. Bacteriol. 89:1101-1103. 1965.-Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus has been shown to induce changes of lipid components within the L cell. Lipid inclusions in the form of dark granular bodies were observed in the L cell after aqueous osmium tetroxide fixation and Sudan black staining. Microscopic examination of cells as early as 8 hr after infection with VEE virus showed an increase in the concentration of these inclusions within the cytoplasm. According to various lipid solubility criteria, the inclusions were considered a combination of heterogeneous phospholipids.
