RSV virus particles in human lung cells, SEM
RSV virus particles in human lung cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) virions (gold) have been labelled with anti-RSV F protein/gold antibodies (yellow), and are seen here shedding from the surface of cultured human lung epithelial A549 cells. RSV is a pneumovirus, a type of paramyxovirus. It is a major cause of respiratory tract infections in humans, and is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants.
