Morphogenesis and Maturation of Retroviruses

This volume is concerned with the individual steps in the pathway of retrovirus morphogenesis and maturation, starting at the point where the components of the virion have been synthesized within the infected cell, and ending once the infectious virion has been released from this cell.

This volume is concerned with the individual steps in the pathway of retrovirus morphogenesis and maturation, starting at the point where the components of the virion have been synthesized within the infected cell and ending once the infectious virion has been released from this cell. An introductory chapter provides a comparative description of the structure and morphology of infectious viruses. Organization is according to individual steps in the pathway of virus particle formation rather than according to individual viruses or virus groups. This concept allows a comparative discussion of the similarities and differences within this complex virus family regarding the specific aspects of formation of an infectious virion.
