HIV particles
HIV particles, computer artwork. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). The virus consists of an RNA genome, surrounded by an icosahedral (20- sided) protein nucleocapsid (coat). The whole virus is enclosed in an envelope derived from the host cells plasma membrane. The envelope has viral proteins integrated into it, including glycoprotein spikes that aid its attachment to host cells. HIV infects the immune systems T- lymphocytes, ultimately killing them, leading to a very weak immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate structure of HIV particles, depicted through stunning computer artwork. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is notorious for causing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a devastating condition that weakens the immune system. The image reveals the composition of this viral menace - an RNA genome enveloped by a 20-sided protein nucleocapsid coat. This entire structure is enclosed within an envelope derived from the host cell's plasma membrane. What makes this image even more fascinating are the glycoprotein spikes integrated into the viral envelope. These spikes play a crucial role in facilitating attachment to host cells, aiding in infection and subsequent destruction of T-lymphocytes, which are vital components of our immune system. As HIV relentlessly attacks these defense mechanisms, it ultimately leads to severe immunodeficiency. Through its detailed portrayal, this illustration not only highlights the complex biology and pathology behind HIV but also serves as a reminder of ongoing medical research and efforts to combat this global health crisis. With its emphasis on virology and microbiology, this print offers valuable insights into understanding pathogens like HIV at a microscopic level. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in their depiction of these virions – providing us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of humanity's greatest challenges in modern medicine.
