Figure 8: Ultrastructural analysis of DENV2-infected and
emetine treated Huh-7 cells. (A, B) DENV2-infected Huh-7
cells treated with 0.1 % of DMSO. (A) DENV2 induced membranous
structures and replication complexes (arrows) can be
observed. DENV2 particles (arrowheads) can also be observed
in close association with the replication complexes (arrow). (B)
DENV2 particles (arrowheads) are observed to accumulate
within the ER lumen in close association with the virus replication
complexes (arrows). (C) DENV2-infected Huh-7 cells that
were treated with 0.5 µM of emetine. Distinct membranous structures
induced by DENV2 infection are not obvious even though
there is extensive proliferation of the ER membranes (arrows).
(D) Mock-infected Huh-7 cells that were treated with 0.5 µM of
emetine. These cells exhibited typical ultrastructral morphology
of non-infected cells. |
