Nevertheless, no important differences were observed between infected and uninfected cells. This study was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and negative staining of whole LLC-MK2 cells grown directly on grids covered with support membranes, and then infected with an hepatitis A virus strain. Thin sections of infected and unifected controls were also analyzed. An intricate web of projections forming a net between cell interfaces was observed only in infected cells. Some of these projections were more than 700 nm long and had ballooning tips. Nevertheless, HAV particles were not visualized in the infected cells. Los estudios previos sobre los eventos ultraestructuralesen la replicación del virus de la hepatitis Aen cultivos decélulas infectadas experimentalmente, se han realizado exclusivamentemediante cortes ultrafinos. No obstante, no sehan observado diferencias importantes entre células infectadasy no infectadas. Este estudio fue realizado empleandomicroscopia electrónica de rastreo, tinción negativa de células(LLC-MK2) cultivadas directamente sobre rejillas paramicroscopia electrónica de transmisión e infectadas con elvirus de la hepatitis A. Adicionalmente se analizaron cortesultrafinos de células infectadas y no infectadas. Se observóuna intrincada red de proyecciones entre las superficies delas células, que apareció solo en las células infectadas. Algunasde esas proyecciones medían más de 700 nm de largoy terminaban en extremos abultados. Sin embargo, no seobservaron viriones en las células infectadas.
