“…Previous immunofluorescence studies of influenza A virus-infected cells demonstrated that NP accumulated in the nucleus (Watson & Coons, 1954;Lui, 1955;Maeno et al, 1977). The intracellular location of M1 is still controversial, with some reports describing its detection in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm (Gregoriades, 1973;Oxford & Schild, 1975;Hay & Skehel, 1975;Maeno et al, 1977;Patterson et al, 1988;Bucher et al, 1989) whereas others claim that it is absent from the nucleus (Lazarowitz et al, 1971;Krug & Etkind, 1973).…”
