HIV-infected macrophage
Issue Image

Electron micrograph of a thin section through an HIV-1-infected macrophage. The membrane-impermeant dye ruthenium red forms an electron-dense coat on the plasma membrane. Thus, it becomes obvious that virus particles, which are also stained with ruthenium red, accumulate in a deep invagination that is continuous with the plasma membrane (see Welsch et al).
