Summary

Ultrastructural analysis of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced nuclear inclusions (NI) revealed a consistent organizational pattern that may have a relationship to the assembly of virus particles. The NI consisted of cellulae that were divided into three zones based on the extent of development of virus particles.
