Cell infected with HIV, SEM C017 / 8336
Cell infected with HIV. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of HIV particles (pink) budding from the membrane of a host cell. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) attacks CD4+ T-lymphocytes (specialised white blood cells), which are crucial in the bodys immune system. It enters the cell and makes many copies of itself, which then destroy the cell as they emerge through its membrane. This severely weakens the immune system, causing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Magnification: x90, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and devastating nature of HIV infection. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a cell infected with HIV, its membrane teeming with pink particles representing the virus. The human immunodeficiency virus specifically targets CD4+ T-lymphocytes, essential white blood cells that play a vital role in our immune system. Once inside the host cell, HIV begins its destructive mission by replicating itself numerous times. These replicated viruses then emerge from the cell's membrane, causing it to ultimately perish. This relentless attack severely weakens the immune system, leading to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). At a magnification of x90,000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to delve into the microscopic world where biology meets pathology. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and fragility of our bodies' defense mechanisms. The vibrant colours and detailed structure captured by this SEM provide valuable insights into virology and immunology research. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the scientific significance but also of the urgent need for continued efforts in understanding and combating HIV/AIDS. Photographed by NIBSC/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this remarkable print stands as an emblematic representation of humanity's ongoing battle against one of history's most devastating diseases – a visual testament to inspire further advancements in microbiology and medical science.
