HIV Virus Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-5221
The HIV Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the retrovirus responsible for AIDS. Designed for microbiology, virology and medical laboratories, this HIV structure teaching model illustrates the internal and external components of this medically important virus.
HIV is a spherical, enveloped retrovirus whose outer lipid envelope, derived from the host cell membrane, is studded with glycoprotein spikes, made up of the surface protein gp120 and the transmembrane protein gp41, which together mediate attachment to and entry into host cells. Beneath the envelope lies a matrix protein layer, enclosing a characteristic cone-shaped capsid built from the core protein p24. Within this capsid are two copies of single-stranded RNA genome along with key viral enzymes, including reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease, which are essential for the virus to convert its RNA into DNA and integrate into the host genome. HIV primarily targets CD4-positive helper T cells, progressively weakening the immune system. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this structure enlarged for classroom study.
