Research Abstract |
Influenza virus genome is replicated in the nucleus as ribonucleoprotein complex (vRNP) and is transported to the cell surface where the budding of progeny virion occurs. This research revealed that the trafficking of progeny vRNP depends on the host cellular microtubule transport system. Live cell imaging of progeny vRNP demonstrated that the vRNP signals moved along microtubules rapidly (the average velocity of 0.7-1.5μm/s) but intermittently in both plus and minus directions.
