HIV particles, artwork C016 / 8658
HIV particles, computer artwork. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). The virus consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome (pink), surrounded by an icosahedral (20-sided) protein nucleocapsid (coat, blue). The whole virus is enclosed in an envelope (green) derived from the host cells plasma membrane. The envelope has viral proteins integrated into it, including glycoprotein spikes that aid its attachment to host cells. HIV infects the immune systems T-lymphocytes, ultimately killing them, leading to a very weak immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of HIV particles, shedding light on the biology and pathogenesis of this devastating virus. Created by Russell Kightley for Science Photo Library, this computer artwork vividly depicts the components that make up HIV. At the center of attention is the pink RNA genome, representing the genetic material of HIV. Surrounding it is a striking blue icosahedral protein nucleocapsid, forming a protective coat around the viral genome. The entire structure is enclosed within a green envelope derived from host cell plasma membrane. This envelope integrates viral proteins, including glycoprotein spikes that aid in attaching to host cells. HIV's ability to infect T-lymphocytes, crucial immune system cells, ultimately leads to their destruction and weakens overall immunity. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of how this virus wreaks havoc on our bodies. With its emphasis on detail and accuracy, this artwork provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology research. It highlights key features such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), retrovirus classification, and icosahedral symmetry – all essential aspects for understanding HIV's behavior. Russell Kightley's creation not only captures scientific complexity but also presents an artistic representation of these microscopic entities responsible for one of humanity's most significant health challenges.
