Single-particle virus tracking

Cold Spring Harb Protoc. 2011 Sep 1;2011(9):pdb.prot065631. doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot065631.

Abstract

Real-time, live-cell imaging techniques and single-particle tracking algorithms can be used to follow individual virus particles as they infect cells. This protocol describes the use of one or more fluorescent markers to perform single-particle virus-tracking experiments.
