Cells were treated with 30 PFU/cell Reolysin for 48 h and processed for electron microscopy. Sections were cut in an LKB Ultracut microtome (Leica, Deerfield, IL), stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined in a JEM 1230 transmission electron microscope (JEOL, USA, Inc., Peabody, MA). The percentage of reovirus positive cells were determined by counting 500 cells in random fields using an electron microscope. The fraction of cytoplasm containing containing reoviral particles was quantified using ImageJ software.
