Q

What is life cycle of herpes?

A

Virus binds specific cell surface receptor
Docking allows uncoating of virus and entry
DNA inserted into cell as protein uncoated
dsDNA moves into nucleus and interact host cell protein
Polymerase transcribes viral proteins = mRNA
mRNA translated into viral proteins
Viral DNA inserted into capsid
Cell becomes full and bursts = release viral particles
