Abstract

With the advent of electron microscopy, it became possible to investigate the pathway of viral entry into cells. Viruses were visualized bound to the cell surface prior to entry and within cells after entry. Some investigators interpreted their findings to indicate that a virus such as adenovirus entered the cell in a vacuole or vesicle whose formation was induced by the presence of the virus at the cell surface. Other investigators concluded that viruses directly crossed the plasma membrane without being transported in a vesicle.
