ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

The earliest visible stage of HIV replication occurs when viral proteins accumulate under the cell membrane in a process called budding (a). In the next stage a crescent shaped early bud has constricted, forming a membrane-encapsulated sphere, with the dense center called a viral nucleoid (b). As the constricting process continues, the virus pinches off and becomes free extracellular infectious virus (c). At this stage, the dark circular mucleoid condenses into a bar; this morphologic feature is used to discriminate HIV-I from HTLV-II and HTLV-III. See artwork: GR-31. Credit: Dr. Matthew Gonda (photographer).

The term "ring" is derived from the morphologic appearance of this stage, which includes chromatin (red), cytoplasm (blue), often arranged in a ring-shape around a central vacuole; biologically, the ring is a young trophozoite. Credit: CDC.
