Atomic structure of the human herpesvirus 6B capsid and capsid-associated tegument complexes

Human Herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6) can cause fever, diarrhea and roseola rash. Here the authors present a cryoEM approach to image crude, minimally purified virus samples and employ it to determine the atomic structures of HHV-6B capsid and capsid-associated tegument protein complexes.
