Influenza Virus Infected Cell

3D Model

Cell infected with Influenza Virus H3N2 Udorn strain. Labelling of the Hemagglutinin protein of the virus with Alexa 488 (green) shows viral filaments budding from the cells. Actin, labelled with Phalloidin-Alexa 568, is shown in red and the DAPI-stained nuclei are shown in blue. The Z-stack was acquired using a Zeiss LSM-710 confocal microscope.
