Health | A white blood cell. Lymphocytes have a number of roles in the immune system, including the production of antibodies and other substances that fight infection and diseases. (references) |

 | Shows six different SEM images of a lymphocyte with HIV cluster. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Pictured is a technician's hand filling wells with a liquid for a research test. This test involves preparation of cultures in which hybrids are grown in large quantities to produce desired antibody. This is effected by fusing myeloma cell and mouse lymphocyte to form hybrid cell (hybridoma). Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer). |
 | The HHV-6, or the human herpes virus-6, was thought to infect b-cells and was at one time called HBLV, human b-lymphotropic virus. It is now known to infect t-cells as well. The HHV-6 is a double stranded DNA virus of the herpes family. The virus particles shown here have matured and are then released from the lymphocyte which has been infected. The "owl's eye" appearance of the virus particles is characteristic of the herpes family. Credit: Bernard Kramarsky (photographer). |  | The photo of an electron micrograph of HHV-6 also includes a labeled insert of the mature virus particle. The HHV-6 is a double stranded DNA virus of the herpes family. The virus particles shown here have matured and are then released from the lymphocyte which has been infected. The "owl's eye" appearance of the virus particles is characteristic of the herpes family. The HHV-6, or the human herpes virus-6, was thought to infect b-cells and was at one time called HBLV, human b-lymphotropic virus. It is now known to infect t-cells and is the cause of the childhood rash "roseola" and some cases of mononucleosis. Credit: Bernard Kramarsky (photographer). |
 | This is a histological slide stained with H&E of a human herpesvirus (HHV-6), a type of human herpes virus. In this photomicrograph of infected cells, the black specks indicate the location of a radioactive isotope that has been attached to the viral RNA. In this case, a large number of black specks indicate that this lymphocyte has been infected. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Electron microscopic image of a single human lymphocyte.
