Host cell membranes in animal virus reproduction

摘要: Publisher Summary The biogenesis of viruses depends on the biosynthetic apparatus host cell. Cellular membranes are involved in many steps viral replication. Thus, investigation virus-membrane interactions provides valuable information biosynthesis viruses. Because a virus is considered as biological probe for events cell biology, such studies throw light biosynthesis, function, and structure cellular general. first step that leads to infection by adsorption, is, attachment particle surface. After has penetrate plasma membrane. This chapter discusses role transcription translation message using example picornavirus Membranes intimately assembly their release from also reviews enveloped It describes two types virus-induced modifications membranes: (1) agglutinability phytoagglutinins (2) fusion. These with not directly replication, but they general importance going far beyond actual field virology.
