AIDS Virus Model
BR-127
This model has been magnified and enlarged millions of times.
It shows the outer viral envelope consisting of a lipid bilayer with different proteins embedded in it forming "spikes".
The model also depicts the viral hereditary material, 2 single stranded RNA with the reverse trancriptase enzyme, contained in the inner protein- layered viral core.
The inner core is removable and condoms can be put underneath to provide a message regarding measures to take in protecting against HIV infections.
The model is provided on a base, mounted with a stand and numbered with an English key card.
