This type of virus is a bacteriophage. It attacks bacteria. The T4 bacteriophage attacks E. coli.
The Strand of genes is inserted into the cells DNA. This causes the cells to replicate the virus
No, there is currently no vaccine for the Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus. This virus infects bacteria, not humans, so it is not a target for vaccine development.
T4's "full name" is "Enterobacteria phage T4"!
Bacteriophage T4 virus
T4 bacteriophage is a DNA virus. It infects bacteria by injecting its DNA into the host cell and hijacking the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material.
A doctor orders a free T4 blood test (or FT4) to see if your thyroid gland is working properly. The "free" part refers to released thyroxine in your system. The free T4 part actually means it is only measuring the unbound T4 (which is usable) the free T4 blood test is better than just the T4, you need to know how much free T4 (unbound and usable) hormone there is in your body to help determine whether you are suffering from thyroid disease.
The t4 virus has a many-sided head containing heridity material. Just below the head is the tail which the heridity material passes through.
The old Total T4 test (TT4) is no longer considered the best way to test for T4 levels. T4 and T3 can both be bound by other proteins and hormones in the body. When this happens, the T4 or T3 is not usable by the body. The body can only use T4 and T3 that is not bound, or free. For this reason, Free T4, which only tests the free levels of the hormone, is now preferred over Total T4 testing as more accurate.
T3 is more active than T4 in the body's metabolic processes.
It's a T4 long fiber and it attaches to the cell wall of the host
