Question

How Can Antiviral Medications Selectively Interfere with Viral Infection Cycles?

Part D - How Can Antiviral Medications Selectively Interfere with Viral Infection Cycles? Select strategies that are likely to interfere with viral infection and replication but will NOT damage the normal functioning of host cells. Select all that apply. inhibiting host cell RNA polymerase blocking host cell receptors that serve as sites for viruses to attach inhibiting cytoskeletal function of host cells to prevent receptor-mediated endocytosis blocking attachment sites on the virus surface inhibiting the release of viruses from the host cell inhibiting viral assembly and maturation processes inhibiting translation of mRNA by ribosomes inhibiting viral-encoded DNA polymerase inhibiting host cell DNA polymerase

Explanation / Answer

1. Blocking host cell receptors that serve as sites for viruses to attach

2. Blocking attachment sites on the virus surface.

3. Inhibiting viral assembly and maturation process.

4. Inhibiting translation of mRNA by ribosomes

5. Inhibiting viral-encoded DNA polymerase
