Our lab uses human adenovirus (HAdV), a water-borne enteric virus, as a model virus to understand how free chlorine inactivates viruses. On this image, you will be able to see viruses (red) infecting cells and being either trapped or released from endosomes (green). Confocal microscopy helps us to examine different portions of the virus life cycle, and identify the step in the replication cycle that is inhibited by treatment of virions with free chlorine.
