Summary Introduction
To review:
The function and effects of host modulating proteins produced during HIV and herpesvirus infection.
Introduction:
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a retrovirus that contains RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome. It is reverse transcribed to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and then integrated into the host genome to replicate itself. Herpesvirus is a DNA virus that undergoes rolling circle replication mediated by both host and viral proteins in the host nucleus.

a) How virus vaccine, under immune system processes (via dendritic cells, T-Cells and B-Cells), can help people against real virus infection.
b) Structure of SARS-CoV-2 and their entry process on host cells. Then, if you choose onetype of virus protein (spikes, nucleocapsid, membrane or envelope) should be used for vaccine,which is the best candidate? Why?
Describe Covid-19, it’s mechanism of entry, and it’s deleterious effects. Be specific about receptor type used for viral entry.
1. Precise words:Find the nonspecific terms in the following sentences. Replace the nonspecific choices with more preciseterms or phrases (It is not necessary to change the sentence structure).(i) All OVE mutants showed enhanced iP concentrations.(ii) Plants were kept in the cold overnight.(iii) To provide proof of concept for our hypothesis, we studied a virus in its host cell.(iv) The present paper reports on continuing experiments that were performed to clarify thissurprising effect.(v) The first transition state is a little lower in energy than the second transition state.
2. Simple words:Improve the word choice in the following examples by replacing the underlined terms or phrases withsimpler word choices (do not change the sentence structure).(i) These data substantiate our hypothesis.(ii) The difference in our results compared to those of Reuter et al. (1995) can be accounted forby the fact that different conditions were used.(iii) For the purpose of discussing cell migration we…
