Retroviruses are characterised by two exceptional features: reverse transcription and a process of maturation outside the host cell which transforms the primary non-infectious product of assembly into a mature, infectious virus particle — the virion. Electron microscopy played an important role in morphological characterization of individual retrovirus groups and the results became a basis for classification of retroviruses. In addition, electron microscopy has become an indispensable companion in biological and molecular biological research. Several excellent reviews have been published recently which provide the reader with the necessary information on retrovirus morphology (Gelderblom 1991; Gelderblom et al. 1991; Coffin 1992). The aim of our contribution will be to present recent data in relation to morphogenesis and its mechanism. We shall concentrate on structural aspects of the assembly process, considering the three-dimensional structure of the gag-encoded polyprotein and the organization of the gag protein shell which determines the overall shape of the virus.
