The cytopathic nuclear characteristics, with the absence of virus crystals and elongated capsid forms, distinguish it from SV40 and the human papovaviruses. Like other papovaviruses, SA12 shows a strong affinity for cellular membranes., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-10-4-477
