U.S. National Institutes of Health

NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases. For more information about NIH and its programs, visit the http://www.nih.gov.
Colorized transmission electron micrograph of numerous HIV-1 virus particles (blue) replicating from a segment of a chronically infected H9 T cell (gold). Image captured at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles (blue) from infected H9 cells, produced in cell culture. The particles exhibit two stages of replication: the two “arcs” are immature particles budding from the plasma membrane of the cell, and the center spherical particle is a mature form in extracellular space. Image captured at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick, Maryland.
