Bluetongue virus infection of sheep cells creates viral inclusion bodies, which surface grows over the course of the infection, by aggregating NS2 viral proteins. Microscopy image of sheep cells infected with bluetongue virus for 21h, and labelled with an anti NS2 antibody (red), a plasma membrane fluorescent marker (WGA, green), and a nucleus staining (blue).
