From: Multiscale perspectives of virus entry via endocytosis

Figure 1

Illustration of the steps of virus entry via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. (A) Virus approaches the cell surface. (B) Biochemical interactions between ligands and receptors attract virus to the cell surface. (C) Virus attaches to the cell surface and signals the cell. (D) A clathrin-coated pit is formed around the bound virus. (E) A clathrin-coated vesicle is formed, and the dynamin at the neck region facilitate vesicle scission. (F) The vesicle travels to cell interior.
