From: Polar release of pathogenic Old World hantaviruses from renal tubular epithelial cells
Polar release of HTNV and PUUV from HREpCs. A) Polarized HREpC were infected with HTNV and PUUV via the apical surface and cell-free supernatants of apical and basolateral chambers were analyzed for the presence of hantavirus nucleocapsid protein by Western blot. B) Re-infection of Vero E6 cells with supernatants of polarized HREpC infected with HTNV and PUUV. Infection was monitored by the detection of hantaviral nucleocapsid protein by immunofluorescence.
