Rhinovirus and antibody, molecular model C015 / 7139
Rhinovirus. Molecular model of the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) from a strongly neutralising antibody bound to a human rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14) particle. This virus consists of a protein capsid, enclosing an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genetic code (genome). The rhinovirus infects the upper respiratory tract and is the cause of the common cold. It is spread by coughs and sneezes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a rhinovirus and its interaction with an antibody. The image features a black background that accentuates the vibrant colors of the virus and antibody, creating a visually stunning composition. At the center of attention is a human rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14) particle, consisting of a protein capsid enclosing an RNA genetic code. This particular strain infects the upper respiratory tract, causing the common cold, which is transmitted through coughs and sneezes. The spherical shape of the virus is highlighted in this artwork, emphasizing its microscopic yet potent nature. What makes this image even more fascinating is the presence of an antigen-binding fragment (Fab) from a strongly neutralizing antibody bound to the HRV-14 particle. The Fab region plays a crucial role in recognizing and binding to specific antigens on pathogens like viruses. This interaction represents our immune system's response to combat viral infections. The detailed illustration provides valuable insights into virology and immunology research while also showcasing the beauty found within biological structures at such small scales. It serves as a reminder of both our vulnerability to infectious diseases but also our ability to develop defenses against them through scientific advancements. This print by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY captures not only scientific knowledge but also artistic appreciation for biology and medicine. It stands as an exquisite representation of how art can enhance our understanding and admiration for complex biological processes.
