Jigsaw Puzzle : Vaccinia virus particle, TEM
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Vaccinia virus particle, TEM
Vaccinia virus particle, coloured transmission micrograph (TEM). Each particle is composed of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genome surrounded by a protein coat and lipid envelope. Vaccinia causes cowpox, a disease of cattle and humans that causes skin lesions. This variant (MVA) is a vaccine strain, used to vaccinate against smallpox, a related but more deadly human disease. MVA (Modified Vaccinia Ankara) is an attenuated vaccine, that is it is a live virus that has been altered to be less virulent

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Vaccinia virus particle, captured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The vibrant colors highlight the intricate structure of this DNA-based virus. Each particle consists of a genetic material known as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), enclosed within a protective protein coat and lipid envelope. Vaccinia is responsible for causing cowpox, a disease that affects both cattle and humans, resulting in skin lesions. However, the particular variant depicted here is Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA), which serves as an attenuated vaccine against smallpox. Smallpox is a related but more severe human disease. MVA has been carefully modified to reduce its virulence while retaining its ability to stimulate an immune response. As such, it acts as a live virus vaccine that helps protect individuals from contracting smallpox. This mesmerizing image provides valuable insights into the world of virology and medical research. It exemplifies how scientists utilize advanced imaging techniques like TEM to study pathogens at the microscopic level. By understanding their structures and characteristics, researchers can develop effective vaccines like MVA to combat deadly diseases. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable photograph with false coloring to enhance visual clarity without altering its scientific accuracy or commercial usage implications.
