Papillomaviridae

Description of Papillomaviridae

adapted from ICTVdb

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry. The isometric capsid has a diameter of 40-55 nm. Capsids appear round. The capsomer arrangement is clearly visible. The capsid consists of 72 capsomers (in skew arrangement). Surface projections are small and surface appears rough.

Capsids can be penetrated by stain and some appear dark in the center. Morphologically aberrant forms are observed. They are filamentous or tubular in form as result of aberrant maturation.

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Virions have a buoyant density in CsCl of 1.34 g cm-3.

Nucleic Acid

The Mr of the genome constitutes 10-13% of the virion by weight.
