Characterization of the oligomeric structure of the NS2B protein by TEM. a TEM of the NS2B protein in erythrocyte ghosts. Erythrocyte membranes were purified and subsequently incubated with PBS (upper panel), albumin (middle panel or NS2B (bottom panel) protein (100 μg), or PBS. Structures with ring- or pore-like morphologies were observed in membranes incubated with the NS2B protein and were micrographed. b Frequency of pore size on the surface of erythrocyte ghosts using the purify NS2B protein at 10, 20 and 100 μg. c Quantification of number of pores on the surface of the erythrocyte ghosts at different concentrations of NS2B protein
