TEM of HIV-antigen AIDS vaccine from yeast
Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an experimental " HIV-antigen" vaccine for AIDS. The virus-like particles seen here are derived from yeast. They contain antigens specific to the HIV- virus. AIDS is an acquired disease of the immune system caused by the HIV-virus (Human Immunodefi- ciency Virus). The harmless virus-like carrier seen here is being tested for its effectiveness to combat the onset of AIDS. It has been labelled with antigens (proteins) which, it is hoped, will alert the bodys immune system to fight the HIV- virus. As late as 1992 research had yet to uncover the mechanism by which the HIV-virus causes AIDS. Magn: x200, 000 at 8x10 inch, x29, 000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking experiment in the field of HIV research. Captured using transmission electron microscopy, it reveals an experimental AIDS vaccine derived from yeast. The virus-like particles visible here have been carefully engineered to contain antigens specific to the HIV-virus. AIDS, an immune system disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), has long posed a significant global health challenge. In this image, we witness scientists' tireless efforts to combat its onset by testing the effectiveness of this harmless virus-like carrier. The yeast-derived carrier has been labeled with proteins known as antigens, which hold immense potential in alerting and mobilizing the body's immune system against the HIV-virus. At the time this photo was taken in 1992, researchers were still unraveling the intricate mechanisms through which HIV causes AIDS. With magnification at x200,000 for an 8x10 inch print or x29,000 for a 35mm size print, every detail is brought into sharp focus. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into cutting-edge production techniques and genetic bioengineering that could revolutionize future drug manufacture. While not mentioning any specific company or commercial use, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering commitment to finding innovative solutions in combating diseases like HIV/AIDS through bio technology and vaccines.
