Viral (HIV) Entry: How Does It Work?

  • Chapter
Entry Inhibitoren

Abstract

HIV life (replication) cycle involves attachment and fusion of the HIV particle with host target cells to initiate the infectious cycle. Entry into the host cell results in conversion of the viral genes from an RNA form to a DNA form and integration of the viral genetic material into the chromosomes of the now infected cell, where it persists for the life of the host cell, resulting in replication and budding forming new virions that are released from the infected host cells.
