Procuring TMV rods for Electron Microscopy?

24 February 2016 1 1K Report

Do any of you guys know how one could get access to some Tobacco Mosaic Virus rods for Electron microscopy? Apparently they are not available commercially or I haven't come across any suppliers? It would be great if you even direct me somewhere.
