Abstract
IT has been shown by using a negative contrasting method that Sendai virus particles have an envelope which is formed of spikes of haemagglutinin and covers a tubular nucleocapsid with a diameter of helix of about 170 Å1. Sub-units of this virus (S and V antigens) resemble those of other myxoviruses, particularly of Newcastle disease virus2,3.
