Figure 5

Deconvolved confocal laser scanning micrographs of the molecular beacon fluorescence in situ hybridization assay, demonstrating viral infectivity of a genogroup I virus (Sample 155) and genogroup II virus (flag2). A) Typical response for uninfected cells, no molecular beacon observed. B) Sample 155, P5 in cell culture. C) Sample flag2, P5 in cell culture.
