Proteins in the cytoplasm target and activate biochemical reactions in specific cellular components, such as the mitochondria and the nucleus. Within the nucleus, gene expression is activated and leads to new protein synthesis, which are formed on the endoplasmic reticulum. These proteins are transported via the Golgi complex for packaging and distribution to cellular membrane and for extracellular release. See artwork: (on disk in file).

This is a histological slide of the human lymphotropic virus (HHV-6), a type of herpesvirus that was discovered in October, 1986. The bright immunofluorescent stain indicates a positive reaction and the HHV-6 infected lymphocytes are now producing viral antigens. The increased intensity of the immunofluorescent stain indicates a higher concentration of viral antigens. Maximal intensity indicates that the infected cell is at its peak for viral production. The cell will die within 24 hours and cause a sudden release of the virus. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.
