Figure 1

H5N1 NS1 protein induces apoptosis in A549 cells visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Normal cell (A) and transfected cell with pCMV-Myc empty vector (B) show that the nuclear shapes are intact. H5N1 NS1-transfected cell shows chromatins condensed, shrunk and aggregated along inside the nuclear membrane, and reveals the apoptotic bodies. (× 5,000).
