Fine Art Print : False-col TEM of AIDS virus budding from T-cell
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
False-col TEM of AIDS virus budding from T-cell
False-colour transmission electron micrograph, TEM of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus particles (red cores, blue envelopes) budding from the plasma membrane of an infected T4 lymphocyte, a white blood cell. AIDS disables the immune system, rendering the victim liable to a number of fatal infections. The virus (designated HIV - Human Immunodeficiency Virus) enters the T4 cell where its genetic material (in the form of RNA) is translated into DNA, & may subvert the cells DNA into making copies of the virus, which bud from the cell wall & destroy the host cell. Magnification: x37, 800 at 35mm, x75, 600 at 6x7cm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the AIDS virus in action. The image reveals the intricate process of viral budding from a T-cell, specifically a T4 lymphocyte, which is an essential component of our immune system. The red cores represent the virus particles themselves, while their blue envelopes symbolize their protective outer layer. AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, poses a severe threat to human health as it disables the immune system and leaves individuals vulnerable to various fatal infections. In this TEM image, we witness how HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), responsible for causing AIDS, infiltrates the T4 cell. Once inside, its genetic material in RNA form is translated into DNA. The cunning nature of this virus becomes evident as it manipulates the host cell's DNA machinery to replicate itself. Copies of the virus then bud from the cell wall and ultimately destroy their host cell in this relentless cycle. With magnification levels reaching x37,800 at 35mm and x75,600 at 6x7cm dimensions, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity hidden within these minuscule structures that have such profound consequences on human health.
