Some Observations on the Envelope of an Influenza Virus Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

Micrographs of the envelope of fowl-plague virus revealed an arrangement of subunits each one of which was surrounded by either five or six others. The similarity of this arrangement to that of a cubic virus capsid has led us to consider which components of morphologically different viruses fulfil similar functions.
