Across
- 6. The host cell mistakenly takes the virus into itself after binding to the spike protein (E)
- 7. Medicine that takes a weakened form of the virus and uses it to teach the immune system (V)
- 10. Time between infection and first noticable symptoms; Some pathogens spread undetected during this time (IP)
- 11. Drugs that destroy the virus directly or inhibit (slow down) their replication (A)
- 12. Medical use of engineered phage viruses to combat drug-resistant bacteria (C)
- 13. Special proteins made by immune cells that bind to and neutralize pathogens (A)
- 14. The host mistakenly makes copies of the virus and spreads the infection, causing tissue damage (R)
- 15. Capsid and tail fibers used to inject bacterial cell with viral RNA (P)
Down
- 1. The virus uses to incorporate its genes into the host DNA using reverse transcriptase (R)
- 2. The way a pathogen spreads between individuals (T)
- 3. The viral genes are incorporated into the host DNA (provirus); The virus replicates when the cell undergoes mitosis (L)
- 4. Newly assembled viruses leave the host by budding from the cell membrane, taking the hosts glycoproteins with them (E)
- 5. RNA or DNA information using nucelotides (GM)
- 8. Cytokine protein produced by cells in response to being infected by a virus; helps other cells resist the virus (I)
- 9. The virus replicates and destroys the host cell; Must faster infection than lysogenic with shorter incubation time (L)
