AIDS mechanism:
–Ebola virus docks with cell membrane.
–Viral RNA is released into the cytoplasm.
–It directs the production of viral proteins and genetic
material.
–Viral genomes are coated w/ protein to make cores.
–The cores migrate to the cell surface.
–Transmembrane proteins (spikes) are produced &
ferried to the cell surface.
–The cores push thru the cell membrane, taking membrane and spikes along as they
exit the cell.
