Localisation of a viral receptor in a mouse dendritic cell. In this preliminary study, gold labelling appears concentrated in cell surface extensions called lamellipodia and peripheral profiles corresponding to tubular endosomes. Low amounts of label appear in the nucleus and at the plasma membrane (PM). Identification of compartments harbouring preferential labelling could be sought using method 1 and further dilutions of the antibody compared using method 2 (see text for details). Bar 100 nm
