Examples of retrovirus in the following topics:
-
- The retroviral genome contains the elements needed for reverse transcription and all other activities of a retrovirus.
- Inbetween the 5' and 3' region is the protein encoding region of the retrovirus, consisting of gag proteins, protease (PR), pol proteins and env proteins.
- The ability of the retrovirus to bind to its target host cell using specific cell-surface receptors is given by the surface component (SU) of the env, while the ability of the retrovirus to enter the cell via membrane fusion is imparted by the membrane-anchored trans-membrane component (TM).
- Thus, the env protein is what enables the retrovirus to be infectious.
- Through the mechanism of reverse transcription by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), we see what the different genomic elements of a retrovirus are.
-
- A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome.
- A notable retrovirus is Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus responsible for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
-
- Human T lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-I), a retrovirus, has been linked to T-cell leukemia. 2.
-
- An example of the first type is HIV, which is a retrovirus.
-
- One of the most prominent representative of a retrovirus is HIV.
-
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
-
- By far, the most successful use of antivirals has been in the treatment of the retrovirus HIV, which causes a disease that, if untreated, is usually fatal within 10–12 years after infection.
-
- During cellular invasion by a replicating retroelement or retrovirus, viral proteins copy their genome by reverse transcribing RNA to DNA.
-
- HIV is a retrovirus that primarily infects components of the human immune system such as CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells.
