Jigsaw Puzzle : False-colour TEM of HIV-2 virus causing AIDS
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
False-colour TEM of HIV-2 virus causing AIDS
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a single HIV-2 virus, the cause of AIDS. Here, the protein coat of the virus (green) has small surface spikes; central (orange) is the nucleoid which contains the viral RNA genetic material. HIV-2 (human immunodeficiency virus type 2) is more closely related to the simian immuno- deficiency virus (SIV) found in monkeys, than is HIV-1. However, both HIV viruses affect T-lympho- cytes (white blood cells) of the human immune system. This undermines the bodys natural defence and patients with AIDS fall prey to opportunistic infections. Magnification: x74, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the HIV-2 virus, which is responsible for causing AIDS. The image reveals intricate details of the virus's structure and composition. The green protein coat of the virus features small surface spikes that give it a distinct appearance. At its core, depicted in orange, lies the nucleoid containing the viral RNA genetic material. Interestingly, HIV-2 is more closely related to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) found in monkeys than its counterpart, HIV-1. However, both strains have devastating effects on T-lymphocytes or white blood cells within the human immune system. This attack weakens the body's natural defense mechanisms and leaves individuals vulnerable to opportunistic infections. With a magnification level of x74,000 at a 6x7cm size, this photograph offers an extraordinary glimpse into one of humanity's most challenging health crises. Through scientific exploration and research like this TEM image capture by Science Photo Library, we gain valuable insights into viruses' structures and behaviors.
