HIV particle

HIV particle, computer artwork. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). The virus consists of an RNA genome, surrounded by an icosahedral (20- sided) protein nucleocapsid (coat). The whole virus is enclosed in an envelope derived from the host cell's plasma membrane. The envelope has viral proteins integrated into it, including glycoprotein spikes that aid its attachment to host cells. HIV infects the immune system's T- lymphocytes, ultimately killing them, leading to a very weak immune system

The Wobblies: Parading guardsmen threw a fit of the wobblies on Saturday (9-6-79)

The Wobblies: Parading guardsmen threw a fit of the wobblies on Saturday (9-6-79). The weather was go humid they just could not toe the line during the final rehearsal for the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London on Saturday (16-6-79). In an unguarded moment, two young soldiers fainted. Thousands of tourists, crammed into Horse Guards Parade, watched as the two were carried away on stretchers - and the thin red line became a little thinner. Unguarded Moment....It's all too much for this guard, as he hits the deck. 9th June 1979
