False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) showing AIDS virus particles (orange and blue) above the surface of an infected T4 lymphocyte,a white blood cell. Two forms of the AIDS virus are now recognized (1988),designated human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and -2). HIV-1 is seen here. At centre left is a newly released virus particle (virion),with a group of mature virions to the right. Infection with HIV depletes the population of T4 cells and thus disables the immune system,rendering its victim liable to a number of fatal diseases. Magnification: x30,500 at 6c6cm size,x20,000 at 35mm size. JBU colouring. BW original is M050/118 | |
