Steps in Viral Replication Flashcards
recognition of host cell and specific binding between viral capsid proteins and the receptor of the host cell
Attachment
Adsorption
Immunoglobulin
poliovirus
HIV
CD4
Acetylcholine
rabies virus
Epstein-Barr Virus
C3d
Sialic Acid
influenza virus
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2
COVID
Viruses enter the host cell
penetration
can penetrate the cell membrane directly
naked virions
may enter the cell by fusion with the cell membrane or via endocytosis whereby the enveloped virus enters in a vacuole
enveloped viruses
process by which the capsid is removed
Uncoating
viruses usually release the genome into the cytoplasm
RNA
viruses release their genome into the host
nucleus
DNA
production of nucleic acid and protein polymers
Macromolecular synthesis
process by which structural proteins, genomes,
and in some cases viral enzymes are assembled
into virus particles
Viral assembly
