DescriptionMapping SHIV infection in the body, 2018 - Wellcome Photography Prize 2019 (cropped).jpg
English: In this image, roughly 100,000 cells from rhesus macaques are shown, with genetically and phenotypically similar cells clustered together. Every dot represents a single cell and the lines connecting them reflect how similar they are.
Each colour highlights cells from a different tissue eg thymus and lymph nodes (shades of blue), bone marrow (red), blood (white), tonsil (yellow), gut (shades of brown), brain (grey), liver (green), spleen (purple) and lung (pink). Several clusters are multicoloured and often contain mobile cells from the immune system that travel between different parts of the body.
