AFM cell surface scanning of MT2 cells treated with 1 μM and 0.001 μM AMY. The AFM images are phase and amplitude images and the regions scanned included both cells and matrix, and emphasis was placed on the cell surface. (a) 8.5 μm amplitude image showing the untreated MT-2 cell; (b) 8.5 μm image of MT-2 cell treated with 0.001 μM AMY; (c) 3.6 μm phase image of untreated MT-2 cells showing budding events with many virus particles embedded into a matrix; (d) 3.6 μm phase image of MT-2 cells treated with 1 μM AMY showing a flat cell surface with no virus budding.
