HIV in bloodstream. Artwork showing HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) particles (spherical,dark brown and yellow) invading a CD4+ T-lymphocyte (white blood cell,coloured brown) in the human bloodstream. Red blood cells and other blood cells can also be seen. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). The virus enters CD4+ T-lymphocytes and hijacks the host cell's machinery to copy itself. The cell dies when the virus clones burst from it,weakening the immune system and causing AIDS | |
