IBDV subviral particle, molecular model
IBDV subviral particle, molecular model. IBDV (infectious bursal disease virus) is an avian virus that infects the bursa of Fabricius (specialised bird immune organ) in young chickens. It can cause high mortality rates by causing susceptibility to secondary infections. This subviral particle is assembled from the structural protein VP2. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. This subviral particle is smaller than the capsid (virus protein shell) and has dodecahedral symmetry. It acts as an antigen, and is studied to help understand the immunology of the virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of an IBDV subviral particle. Infectious bursal disease virus, known to affect young chickens by targeting their specialized immune organ called the bursa of Fabricius, can lead to high mortality rates due to increased susceptibility to secondary infections. The subviral particle depicted here is composed of VP2, a structural protein responsible for its assembly. In viruses, the capsid serves as a protective protein shell that encloses the genetic material. However, this particular subviral particle is smaller than the capsid and exhibits dodecahedral symmetry. Acting as an antigen, it plays a crucial role in understanding the immunology of this avian pathogen. The black background beautifully accentuates this spherical illustration with its striking details and precision. This artwork not only delves into biology but also encompasses elements from biochemistry and virology. Its significance lies in unraveling the molecular structure and composition of viral proteins like VP2 while shedding light on proteomics and microbiological studies. With its cut-out design against a dark backdrop, this image captures attention effortlessly while providing valuable insights into the world of pathogens and biomolecules. It stands as a testament to scientific exploration within fields such as molecular biology and immunology – offering researchers invaluable tools for further investigation into infectious diseases like IBDV.
