Illustration of HIV retrovirus, white background
HIV retrovirus. Schematic illustration of the structure of a retrovirus, such as the HIV-1 virus that causes AIDS. At centre are RNA strands (red) making up the viral genetic material. The RNA is enclosed in a core protein shell (green). The outer envelope (yellow) consists of a lipid bi- layer, with protein spikes (orange). In the HIV virus the spikes consist of glycoprotein gp120 and it is these that recognise CD4 markers on white blood T-cells, causing T-cells to become infected. Retroviruses use their RNA to infect cells in a particular way. The HIV virus kills T-cells after infection, damaging the human immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an HIV retrovirus, set against a pristine white background. The illustration vividly depicts the various components that make up this notorious virus, specifically the HIV-1 strain responsible for causing AIDS. At the core of this retrovirus lie vibrant red RNA strands, which constitute its genetic material. These vital strands are encased within a protective shell made of green core proteins. Surrounding this inner layer is a striking yellow outer envelope composed of a lipid bi-layer, adorned with orange protein spikes. The distinguishing feature of these spikes is their glycoprotein gp120 composition. It is through these specialized structures that the virus recognizes CD4 markers on white blood T-cells, initiating infection and ultimately leading to their demise. This process severely compromises the human immune system, rendering it vulnerable to various diseases and infections. Retroviruses like HIV employ their RNA as a means to infiltrate cells in a unique manner, making them particularly elusive adversaries in medical research and treatment efforts. Through this remarkable artwork from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity of such viruses while acknowledging their devastating impact on human health.
