- Other Notes
- A thin slice from a montaged tomographic reconstruction of a region of a crypt of Lieberkühn in HIV-1 infected BLT mouse colon is shown. The virions have been modeled in position (the envelopes as blue spheres, the bullet-shaped cores in magenta and presumptive surface spikes as tiny yellow spheres) and the tomographic slice superimposed beneath them. This view allows for the virions in the intercellular spaces between cells to be visualized relative to the surrounding tissue components.
