AIDS Information Library:
ARIC's AIDS Medical Image Gallery
-

  This is the index to a collection of images (and eventually a few animations, we hope) describing some of the microcellular events that occur in the human body during HIV infection. All images are in common Internet formats: .GIF, .JPG, .AVI, or similar formats. The collection is currently arranged in two basic categories, as follows:

  A. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• Structure of a Generic Retrovirus
• Structure of HIV-1
• Stages of Retroviral Reproduction
• Replication of HIV-1
• HIV-1 Binding via Cell Surface Receptors
• Enzyme Targets of Anti-HIV Drugs

B. AIDS and the Immune System
• Presentation of Antigen to T Cells through MHC-I Molecules
• Presentation of Antigen to T Cells through MHC-II Molecules
• Apoptosis: How a Cell Commits Suicide
• A Cell Dying Through Apoptosis (Cell Suicide)
• How Helper T-Cells Become Activated, and How They Die
• How Apoptosis May Be Triggered in HIV Infection

PLEASE NOTE: This area of our AIDS Medical Information Library is still under construction. We ask your patience while we add more new images.
