“…Morphological studies of SV-40 and polyoma virus entry have suggested, however, that all viruses may not be as disciplined in their interactions with cellular organelles. These nonenveloped viruses, which belong to the papovavirus family, have been seen to enter the cells via small tight-fitting, uncoated membrane vesicles ("monopinocytotic" vesicles) derived from the plasma membrane (13,15,19,23,24). Incoming virus particles have also been reported in a variety of cellular compartments, including the nucleoplasm, the lysosomes, the ER, and mitochondria (15,19,23,24).…”
