Illustration of HTLV-1 infected T4-lymphocyte cell
Illustration of a T4-lymphocyte cell infected with Human T-lymphotropic Virus type I (HTLV-I) which causes leukaemia. The leukaemia is adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma. Here, the effect of the viral infection within the lymphocyte (white blood cell) has caused its surface to appear typically folded and bumpy. This is partly due to the effect of the viruses budding out from the cell membrane. The virus has instructed the T4-cell to reproduce more viruses. This leukaemia affects the elderly; HTLV- I virus remains latent for years; when active, abnormal T4-cells increase in the blood and the immune system cannot fight secondary infections

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an intricate illustration of a T4-lymphocyte cell infected with Human T-lymphotropic Virus type I (HTLV-I), the culprit behind adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma. The image vividly captures the devastating impact of viral infection on this white blood cell, as its surface appears folded and bumpy – a direct consequence of the viruses budding out from the cell membrane. The HTLV-I virus cunningly manipulates the T4-cell, instructing it to reproduce more viruses, further exacerbating the progression of leukaemia. This particular form of cancer predominantly affects older individuals, as HTLV-I remains latent for years before becoming active. Once activated, abnormal T4-cells multiply in the bloodstream while compromising the immune system's ability to combat secondary infections. Through this artwork, viewers gain insight into both the microscopic world within our bodies and its profound implications for human health. It serves as a poignant reminder that even at such minuscule scales, diseases can wreak havoc on our well-being. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel in their print collection—an invaluable resource for researchers and medical professionals seeking visual aids to enhance their understanding or presentations related to lymphocytes' infection processes and leukaemia development caused by HTLV-I.
