Detection and characterization of EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystallization in Sf9 cells. (a) EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystals either inside Sf9 cells or released to the medium two days post-infection observed by DIC (left) and GFP fluorescence (right) microscopy with the same field of view. (b) UV fluorescence image of EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystals in Sf9 cells (left) and SONICC image of high-density Sf9 cells harboring EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystals (right) three days post-infection. (c) TEM images of an Sf9 insect cell with EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystals grown inside (left), EGFP-μNS(448–605) crystals with a hexagonal cross section (middle) and the lattice structure of the crystal (right). Crystals denoted by asterisks in the left panel are shown in the middle panel at a higher magnification. Particles surrounding the crystals (hypothesized to be ribosomes) are indicated by black arrowheads in the middle panel. The arrow in the right panel points to the crystalline lattice.
