Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers ...

Transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles (colorized yellow/gold) replicating from an HIV-infected H9 T-cell (purple). Budding virus particles that have not yet separated from the ...

HIV-1 particles are released from infected ... They used the latest cryo-electron microscopes to image virus particles, and ...

like these HIV particles budding on the surface of a T cell. Now a new type of electron microscope, a tunnelling electron microscope, has even made it possible to see the arrangement of atoms.

Thanks to high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, we have seen that this peptide, after its release, binds directly to the matrix proteins and links the proteins together in the mature virus.” John ...
