Figure 3From: Activation of cytokines and NF-kappa B in corneal epithelial cells infected by respiratory syncytial virus: potential relevance in ocular inflammation and respiratory infectionSyncytium in RSV-infected HCE cells. RSV infection of HCE monolayer was performed as described in Methods. At 72 h p.i. the monolayer was photographed under phase contrast [7]. Note that the infected cells are fused together (forming syncytia) in contrast to those in the mock-infected "control" monolayer.Back to article page
