Fine Art Print : SEM of whole T-cell infected with HIV
Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
SEM of whole T-cell infected with HIV
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a whole T-lymphocyte infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The T- lymphocyte is from a culture cell line known as H9. An Infected T-cell typically has a lumpy appearance with irregular rounded surface protrusions. Small spherical virus particles visible on the surface are in the process of budding away from the cell membrane. Depletion of the population of T4 lymphocytes through HIV infection is the main reason for the destruction of the immune system in AIDS. Magnification: x15, 000 at 6x5-inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a whole T-lymphocyte infected with the notorious Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is responsible for causing Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The T-lymphocyte in question originates from the H9 culture cell line. Upon close inspection, one can observe that an infected T-cell exhibits a lumpy appearance, characterized by irregular rounded surface protrusions. The significance of this image lies in the small spherical virus particles visible on the cell's surface, depicted as they bud away from the cell membrane. These viral particles represent HIV's relentless attack on our immune system. By depleting the population of T4 lymphocytes through infection, HIV wreaks havoc and ultimately leads to the destruction of our body's defense mechanism - AIDS. At a magnification level of x15,000 and printed at 6x5 inches size, this SEM photograph offers an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic world where viruses wage their battles against human health. Captured by Science Photo Library, it serves as a powerful reminder of both the beauty and devastation that occur within our bodies at such minuscule scales.
