a) ELISA with an anti-VP2 antibody of the sucrose gradient fractions. The fractions were numbered from 1 (F1; top of the tube) to 11 (F11; bottom of the tube). C-: p19 plant extract; C+: inactivated IBDV. b) TEM images of sucrose gradient fractions. In F1 only SVP (T = 1) are present, indicated by the arrows. F2 contains bigger particles with a diameter ranging from 35 to 50 nm (T = 7). In F3 the majority of the particles are VLP with a diameter of ~ 60 nm, (T = 13), but tubular structures are also visible.
