What else can I help you with?
What must HIV surface protein do to enter a host cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
What is a form in which HIV hides in the host cell?
the forms in which hiv hides in the host cell is retrovirus
What is the role of CD4 receptores in HIV infections?
The role of the CD4 receptors in HIV is so that the virus fuses with the T helper cells.
What correctly orders the events in the attack of the HIV virus on a cell?
enter cell, attach to cell, replicate, kill cell
Why is the capsid protein of a of a virus important?
They help the virus attach to the host cell.
When infection leads quickly to breaking open of host cell?
HIV
What blocks HIV binding to host cell receptors?
Protease inhibitors.
Can HIV attach itself to a muscle cell or a skin cell?
No, HIV cannot attach itself to a muscle or a skin cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are not complementary to their binding sites. However, HIV can attach itself to a helper T cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are complementary to the binding sites of the helper T cells.
What part of virus allows it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
What parts of a virus allow it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
A protein on the surface of HIV can attach to what proteins on the surface of healthy human cells?
HIV's surface protein, gp120, can attach to CD4 receptors on healthy human cells. This interaction allows HIV to enter and infect the cell by binding to the CCR5 or CXCR4 co-receptors on the cell surface.
What is it called when infection leads quickly to breaking open of host cell?
HIV
