Viral Replication
Replication of Animal Viruses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adsorption/Attachment | Ligand- Receptor interaction. VAP= Ligand. Tissue tropism. Random movement. |
| Penetration | Naked cells: taken in by cell. injects nucleic acid into cell. Enveloped cells: fusogenic proteins. Endocytosis |
| Uncoating | Freeing of nucleic acid, either into cytoplasm(RNA) or nucleus (DNA). Capsid breaks by osmotic pressure or lysosome action. Uncoating may happen during penetration. |
| Synthesis/Replication | Process by which genetic material creates proteins. Causes Cell changes (CPE) |
