Transmission electron microscopy of influenza particles in platelets. a Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of isolated human platelets incubated with WSN/33 influenza (1 pfu to 10 platelets) at different time points but under the same conditions as in (b). Platelets were fixed for 10 min immediately after incubation and processed for electron microscopy. b Quantitation of the time course of internalization of influenza by isolated platelets in (c). The graphs represent the analysis of n = 10 platelets per time point. c TEM of platelets isolated from uninfected (control) and influenza-infected patients. Representative images are shown from three different influenza patients. In all cases, red arrows point toward the viral particle
