Coloured TEM of hepatitis B virus and its antigen
Hepatitis B virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the Hepatitis B virus and its naturally occurring antigen. The rounded spheres (called Dane particles) are the complete virus. Hepatitis B virus occurs typically in clusters of three types of particles (as seen here): the virus itself, with smaller spheres and rod-shaped forms made from the protein coat of the virus. The smaller non-infectious spheres are antigenically identical to the virus, and provide raw material for Hepatitis B vaccines. Infection by this virus is more serious than Hepatitis A, can be sexually transmitted, and causes chronic hepatitis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the hepatitis B virus and its antigen. The image reveals the intricate details of this notorious virus, with rounded spheres known as Dane particles representing the complete viral structure. Interestingly, hepatitis B virus tends to occur in clusters consisting of three types of particles: the actual virus itself, smaller spheres, and rod-shaped forms composed of protein coats. Among these particles, the smaller non-infectious spheres are particularly significant as they possess identical antigens to the virus. These antigenic spheres serve as essential components for developing vaccines against Hepatitis B. By providing raw material for vaccine production, they play a crucial role in combating this serious infection. Compared to Hepatitis A, infection by the hepatitis B virus is more severe and can even be transmitted through sexual contact. It causes chronic hepatitis which can have long-lasting effects on an individual's health. The vivid colours used in this TEM add depth and dimension to our understanding of this microscopic world. This visually striking image not only highlights the beauty found within scientific research but also emphasizes how vital it is to study viruses like Hepatitis B in order to develop effective prevention strategies and treatments for those affected by this disease.
