HIV-1 Virus-Like Particles in Lymph Node

Caption

The early event of HIV-1 virus-like particles (shown here in green) spreading in the mouse lymph node. Sinus-lining macrophages (cyan) provide a cell-to-cell contact portal to shuttle HIV-1 particles onto follicular dendritic cells (blue) and HIV-1 reactive B cells (red) in the B cell follicle (marked with wild-type B cells, yellow).
