HIV particle, artwork C016 / 8646
HIV particle, 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 an HIV particle, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for causing acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition that weakens the immune system. The image highlights the various components of this pathogenic virus. At its core lies an RNA genome, represented by a striking pink hue, encased within a 20-sided protein nucleocapsid coat in vibrant blue. Surrounding this complex arrangement is an envelope derived from the host cell's plasma membrane, colored in a vivid shade of green. This envelope integrates viral proteins, including glycoprotein spikes that aid in attaching to host cells. The visual representation emphasizes the destructive nature of HIV on T-lymphocytes, which are vital for maintaining a robust immune system. Ultimately, these infected cells succumb to the virus's attack, leading to severe immunodeficiency. Through this illustration, we gain insight into the microscopic world of viruses and their impact on human health. It serves as a reminder of ongoing research efforts in virology and microbiology aimed at understanding and combating such pathogens. Credit: RUSSELL KIGHTLEY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
