HIV is different in structure from other retroviruses. The HIV virion is ~100 nm in diameter. Its innermost region consists of a cone-shaped core that includes two copies of the (positive …

On the basis of genetic characteristics and differences in the viral antigens, HIV is classified into the types 1 and 2 (HIV-1, HIV-2). The immunodeficiency viruses of non-human primates …

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a complex RNA virus of the genus Lentivirus within the Retroviridae family. HIV is an approximately 100 nm icosahedral structure with 72 external …

A detailed three-dimensional structure of HIV-1 envelope-glycoprotein spikes, which are required for the infection of host cells, has recently been elucidated by cryoelectron microscopy …

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is composed of two strands of RNA, 15 types of viral proteins, and a few proteins from the last host cell it infected, all surrounded by a lipid bilayer …

Aug 29, 2009 · Cross-sectional schematic diagram of HIV virion. Each virion expresses 72 glycoprotein projections composed of gp120 (orange) and gp41 (light blue). Gp41 is a …

Present article explains human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) activity of various bioorganic components isolated from various plant species. Plants possess enormous potential to fight...

HIV targets the human immune system, its cells such as the helper T cells (particularly CD4+ T cells), dendritic cells and macrophages. When CD4 + T cells count eventually declines below …

The genome of the human immunodeficiency virus (type 1) is shown in this schematic diagram. Composed of 9 genes encoding 3 structural, 2 envelope, and 6 regulatory proteins in addition …

The structure of HIV is a testament to its ability to effectively invade host cells and replicate. Understanding this structure has been crucial in the development of treatments for HIV …
