Caption

Model of herpesviral virions in cross-section (central) and uncut (top right). On the surface, viral glycoproteins (red) are integrated into a membrane (transparent). The membrane encloses various viral tegument proteins (gray) and assimilated host proteins (pink). The viral tegument protein UL32 is highlighted in yellow. In the center of the virion is DNA (not shown) which is enclosed by the nucleocapsid (blue).
