En bloc transmission of the measles virus genomes in neurons (IMAGE)
Caption
When the F protein induces membrane fusion at a neuronal synapse, multiple measle virus genomes are simultaneously transmitted to the next neuron. This phenomenon is known as an 'en bloc transmission.' Under this condition, both normal and mutant genomes are transmitted simultaneously, resulting in normal and mutant F proteins coexpressed in an infected cell.
