HIV Replication Flashcards
HIV Replication 1/7
HIV attachemnt proteins binds to CD4 receptors on the cell membrane of the T cell
HIV Replication 2/7
HIV, reverse transcriptase and other viral proteins enter the host cell
HIV Replication 3/7
Reverse transciprtase uses the viral DNA as a template to make a complemnetary DNA strand
Eventually double stranded DNA is produced from the RNA
HIV Replication 4/7
Viral DNA is transported across the nucelus and intergrates into the host DNA
HIV Replication 5/7
New viral DNA is used as genomic RNA and to make viral proteins
HIV Replication 6/7
New viral RNA and proteins and move to the cell surface and a new a immarture HIV forms
HIV Replication 7/7
Virus is released via excytosis
