Human immunodeficiency virus.
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: This color-enhanced photograph taken with an electron microscope shows a helper T cell (CD4 lymphocyte) being invaded by many small human immunodeficiency viruses. Like all viruses, HIV cannot reproduce itself. It must enter a lymphocyte and use that cell’s DNA to replicate itself. The lymphocyte is destroyed as the new viruses are released.
