A succession of 2 viral lattices drives vaccinia virus assembly
How does vaccinia virus assemble in the cytoplasm of infected cells? Cryo-ET of vaccinia-infected cells shows how spherical immature virions mature into the infectious brick-shaped mature virus, revealing new features and suggesting that two consecutive viral-derived protein lattices drive vaccinia assembly and maturation.
