Particle wall thickening after capsids closure. (A) Viral particles suffer differentiation related to the thickness in a specific area at the edge of the viral factory (contoured in red and in detail). (B) Viral factory periphery evidencing the capsid wall thickness. Cross (C) and longitudinal (D) sections of capsids presenting a thin thickness and the corks not completely laterally covered (E) (red arrows). (F) and (G) The capsids become thicker with the progression of maturation and acquire the same thickness presented by both corks (H) (red arrow). VF: Viral factory. Nu: Nucleus. Image A-left was obtained by TEM and graphically highlighted by using IOS image-visualize software.
