Rhinovirus and antibody, molecular model C015 / 7138
Rhinovirus. Molecular model of the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) from a strongly neutralising antibody bound to a human rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14) particle. This virus consists of a protein capsid, enclosing an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genetic code (genome). The rhinovirus infects the upper respiratory tract and is the cause of the common cold. It is spread by coughs and sneezes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a rhinovirus and its interaction with an antibody. The image depicts a white background, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the detailed illustration. The rhinovirus, responsible for causing the common cold, is depicted as a round particle with a protein capsid enclosing its RNA genetic code. The highlight of this image lies in the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) from a strongly neutralizing antibody bound to the rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14) particle. This Fab plays a crucial role in our immune response against viral infections by recognizing and binding to specific antigens on pathogens like HRV-14. By doing so, it helps neutralize their harmful effects. The artwork beautifully captures the complexity of this molecular interaction between virus and antibody, shedding light on how our immune system combats such infections. With its icosahedral shape and space-filled representation, this depiction provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology. As we gaze upon this stunning visual representation, we are reminded of both the beauty and intricacy that exists within biology and medicine. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration in understanding pathogenic agents like rhinoviruses while striving towards developing effective treatments or preventive measures against them.
