This fully updated volume presents protocols crucial for contemporary influenza virus research, placing a special emphasis on the latest advancements in imaging technologies, including super-resolution microscopy, cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), freeze replica electron microscopy, and high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM).

1 day ago · Performing electron microscopy imaging on influenza A virus isolates or influenza A-infected samples is an excellent way to explore the virus and/or infected tissue architecture . However, how a scientist approaches this imaging method should all come down to the biological question they are studying.

Transmission electron microscopy is an imaging technique that visualizes the ultrastructure of samples, revealing not just the structures of interest but also the context occurring around the structures of interest. ... Room Temperature Transmission Electron Microscopy of Influenza A Virus Samples Methods Mol Biol. 2025:2890:151-167. doi: 10. ...

Recently improved methods for visualization of thin tissue sections by electron microscopy have been applied to the study of early changes in the bronchial epithelium of mice infected by inhalation of aerosols of influenza virus.

6 days ago · The H5N1 avian influenza virus (blue) revealed in a coloured image from a transmission electron microscope. Credit: CDC/Science Photo Library. Ten months on from the shocking discovery that a ...

Thanks to some advanced electron microscopy from UW School of Pharmacy’s Associate Professor of Medicinal Chemistry Kelly Lee’s laboratory, we are starting to understand how the influenza virus aggressively pries its way into cells.

Dec 11, 2024 · A transmission electron microscope (TEM) image shows a rod-shaped H5N1 (bird flu) virus, which is a subtype of the influenza A virus. In the background, a second TEM image shows spherical and rod-shaped versions of this virus.

Based on the morphological and structural observations obtained by using electron microscopic techniques, we present a model of the native morphology of the influenza virion. Keywords: influenza virus, morphology, electron microscopy.

In this review, we summarize the contributions of electron microscopy (EM) towards understanding influenza virus fusion. Briefly, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron-tomography (cryo-ET) have shown the structure of influenza virions at neutral pH in close-to-native conditions; thin section EM has shown that influenza viruses ...
