a Schematic representation of Gag domains. b–d Representative cryoEM images of purified immature HERV-K VLPs at low (b), medium (c) and high (d) magnifications. e The mean (red line) and distribution (gray bars) of the diameter (red arrow in d) of HERV-K VLPs, compared with the mean diameters of other retroviruses (blue lines). f The mean (purple line) and distribution (gray bars) of the distance between lipid bilayer and capsid lattice (purple in d) of HERV-K VLPs, compared with the mean distance of other retroviruses (blue lines). The micrographs in (b) and (c, d) are representative of 20 and 124 measurements, respectively. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
