Cytomegalovirus infection

Cytomegalovirus infected cells. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of human fibroblast culture cells infected with cytomegaloviruses. The infected cells are shown by the presence of the virus- specific protein UL37 (orange). Cell nuclei are blue, with mitochondria red. UL37 localizes to the mitochondria, keeping the cells alive for longer and enabling them to produce more viruses. Fibroblasts are found in human connective tissue. They are involved in, among other things, making the fibrous structural protein collagen. In immunofluorescence, fluorescent dyes are attached to specific tissues using antibodies. Magnification: x80 at 5x7cm size

Cytomegalovirus Fibroblast Fibroblasts Immunofluores Immunofluorescent Infection Viral Protein Light Micrograph Virus


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of cytomegalovirus infection. The image depicts human fibroblast culture cells infected with cytomegaloviruses, revealing a mesmerizing display of colors and patterns under immunofluorescent light microscopy. The infected cells are easily distinguishable by the presence of the virus-specific protein UL37, which appears in a striking orange hue. Meanwhile, the cell nuclei are depicted in serene shades of blue, while mitochondria glow vibrantly red. It is fascinating to observe how UL37 localizes to the mitochondria, playing a crucial role in keeping these cells alive for longer periods and facilitating increased viral production. Fibroblasts, found within human connective tissue, serve various functions including collagen synthesis – an essential structural protein. In this particular study using immunofluorescence techniques, fluorescent dyes were skillfully attached to specific tissues through antibodies. At a magnification of x80 on a 5x7cm print size, this image offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the microscopic realm where viruses interact with host cells. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, life's complexities unfold before our eyes.
