Stage Of Viral Replication Flashcards
The process in which the virus adheres to the host cell
surface
Adsorption or attachment
This process is selective, in which the virus will adhere only to
selected host cells it can infect
permissive cells
It depends
on the receptors found on the host cell
Receptor
It depends on the
viral surface
Anti- receptor
Also called viral entry
Penetration
This process follows attachment and happens almost
instantaneous the moment the virus attaches to the cell.
Penetration
Give three types of penetration
1.plasma membrane
2. endocytosis
3. membrane fusion
It only undergoes the first two.
Naked virus
Happens after viral entry wherein the capsid protecting the
viral genome is removed.
Uncoating
entire virus is engulfed and enclosed in a
vacuole or vesicle
Endocytosis
envelope merges directly with membrane
resulting in nucleocapsid’s entry into cytoplasm
Fusion
Removed by degradation by enzymes, whether viral or host or
by simple dissociation.
Uncoating
After the genome is liberated, viral parts are now
synthesized from the genome.
Synthesis
Step after the synthesis of viral parts.
Assembly
if the virus is enveloped, by
