| inclusion bodies, viral | An area showing altered staining behaviour in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesised; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies. (12 Dec 1998) |
