What else can I help you with?
A protein that is produced by cells infected by a virus and that can protect uninfected cells from reproduction of the virus?
Interferon is a protein released by cells infected by a virus that triggers neighboring cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses. Interferon helps protect uninfected cells from viral reproduction by activating their immune response, making it harder for the virus to spread. This immune response can include activating natural killer cells to destroy infected cells and inhibiting viral replication within cells.
Is the west nile viral or bacterial?
West Nile virus is a viral infection, not a bacterial one. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
How does interferon help virus infected cell?
Interferons are signaling proteins that are released by cells in the immune system in response to viral infections. They help to inhibit viral replication within infected cells by activating mechanisms that make the cell less hospitable to the virus, such as degrading viral RNA and proteins. Interferons also help to stimulate immune responses that target and eliminate virus-infected cells.
RNA is synthesized from viral DNA in an infected cell before protein synthesis begins?
Yes, during the viral life cycle, RNA is synthesized from viral DNA by a process called transcription. This RNA serves as the template for protein synthesis, which is carried out by the host cell's machinery. This process allows the virus to replicate and produce more viral particles.
What describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person?
Viral load is the term used to describe the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person. It is an important measure of virus replication and infectivity. Tracking viral load levels can help in monitoring disease progression and response to treatment.
The number of virus particles circulating in an infected person's body is called what?
Viral load
What small protein secreted by virus containing cells?
Interferon is a small protein secreted by virus-infected cells that plays a key role in the body's defense against viruses. Interferon helps to prevent viral replication and spread to neighboring cells by activating the immune response.
What virus is made up of only one protein?
Hepatitis B virus is made up of only one protein called the core protein, which forms the viral capsid.
When DNA from a virus is injected into a bacterium the bacterium produces viral protein?
blaze
Which describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person's body?
look up the answer
Is yellow fever a bacterial viral or parasitic disease?
It cannot spread like a virus and yellow fever is transmitted by the bite of the female mosquitoes of the species Aedes aegypti.
What is neuramidase?
It is a protein on the influenza virus that is thought to help the virus escape from the cell after it replicates. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are drugs that inhibit this action and thus trap virus particles within an infected cell.
