Native Ross River virus



Native Ross River virus cut-out view. The blue portion of the virus represents the spike protein that covers nearly the entire capsid surface. Beneath this spike protein lies the lipid bilayer (green) that comes from the host cell during budding. Underneath the lipid bilayer is the capsid protein (structure determined by the Rossmann laboratory) shown in yellow. The capsid protein and RNA form the inner core (red).



Ross River virus (blue) complexed with antibody fragments (red) to the viral glycoprotein spikes.



Sindbis virus (blue) complexed with antibody fragments(green) to the viral glycoprotien spikes.
