HIV particles, artwork C016 / 9142
HIV particles, computer artwork. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). The virus consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome (pink), surrounded by an icosahedral (20-sided) protein nucleocapsid (coat, blue). The whole virus is enclosed in an envelope (green) derived from the host cells plasma membrane. The envelope has viral proteins integrated into it, including glycoprotein spikes that aid its attachment to host cells. HIV infects the immune systems T-lymphocytes, ultimately killing them, leading to a very weak immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of HIV particles, shedding light on the biology behind this devastating virus. Created by Russell Kightley, a renowned artist in scientific illustration, this artwork titled "HIV Particles" provides a visually stunning representation of the virus responsible for causing AIDS. At the core of this image lies an RNA genome, depicted in a striking pink hue. Surrounding it is an icosahedral protein nucleocapsid coat colored in deep blue. The entire viral structure is enveloped within a green membrane derived from host cells' plasma membrane. Notably, integrated into this envelope are glycoprotein spikes that aid in attaching to host cells and facilitating infection. HIV's ability to infect T-lymphocytes, crucial components of our immune system, ultimately leads to their destruction and severely weakens our body's defense mechanism against diseases. This artwork serves as a reminder of the virulence and destructive nature of HIV. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, this illustration captures both the beauty and danger inherent in viruses like HIV. It stands as a testament to the vital role that art plays in conveying complex scientific concepts while also raising awareness about critical medical issues such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
