The ultrastructure of membranous webs in host cells containing a Japanese Fulminant Hepatitis-1 (JFH-1) replicon vizualized by electron microscopy. Two types of structures are labeled: clusters of single membrane (red arrowheads) and double membrane (yellow arrowheads) vesicles. These enclose the particle within the cell.
