HIV Infection Cycle
Previous Image | Next Image
Description:
1 Viral protein binds to proteins at the surface of a white
blood cell.
2 Viral RNA and enzymes enter the cell.
3 Viral reverse transcriptase uses viral RNA to make double stranded
viral DNA.
4 Viral DNA enters the nucleus and becomes integrated into
the host genome.
5 Transcription produces viral RNA.
6 Some viral RNA is translated to produce viral proteins.
7 Other viral RNA forms the new viral genome.
8 Viral proteins and viral RNA self-assemble at the host
plasma membrane.
9 New virus buds from the host cell, with an envelope of host
plasma membrane.
