Viral Replication Flashcards
1
Q
What are the steps for viral entry into a cell?
A
Receptors
Uptake
Penetration
2
Q
What are the different functions of virus receptors?
A
Concentrate virus on cell surface
Trigger uptake
Protein whos binding triggers conformational changes for penetration
Binding tirggers intracellular signalling required for replication
3
Q
What are the differences and similarities in fusion of an enveloped and non enveloped virus?
A
Enveloped - membrane fusion
Non enveloped - pore formation or membrane disruption
Both take energy stored in virus particle
One shot process
