This book is a collection of critical reviews about a diverse group
of virus families with two features in common: the stable
repository of genetic information in each virus is RNA, and each
virus modifies and appropriates a particular patch of the
eukaryotic cell membrane system to complete its structure. The
reviews take the reader from the level of virus genome structure
and expression through the quaternary interactions between
virus-specified elements and cellular components that cooperate to
produce virus particles. There are spectacular illustrations in
this volume, but it is much more than a picture gallery. Reading
widely in this book can be an effective antidote to
overspecialization: in these pages, you are likely to learn much
about viruses and about cells that you didn't know before; you'll
discover illuminating parallels between diverse virus families;
you'll come away with a sharpened awareness of important things
that are still to be learned. Memphis, Tenn. , Summer 1984 David W.
Kingsbury Preface This book was written at the suggestion of Dr.
David W. Kingsbury made at a work shop on viruses organized by the
Multiple Sclerosis Society in Aspen, Colorado, U. S. A. , three
years ago. Originally, we had thought to focus on the morphological
aspects of viral assembly. Later, during our discussions on the
process of budding of enveloped RNA viruses, it became evident that
we should include biochemical data in our review and correlate them
with the structural aspects of virus maturation.
