Abstract
A striking characteristic of the infectious cycle of most viruses is the co-ordinated assembly of virions in specialised sub-compartments of cells called viral factories. Factories recruit viral and host proteins and reorganise cellular membrane compartments to act as platforms for virus assembly. In this study we wish to exploit recent developments in fluorescence microscopy and green fluorescent protein technology to study the dynamics of factory morphogenesis and virus assembly in living cells.
