Summary Introduction
To explain: How neuraminidase inhibitor drug Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) helps in prevention of flu or reduces disease course of flu in a flu patient.
Introduction: An antiviral drug, Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), is recommended for patients infected by the influenza virus. Influenza virus is an RNA virus belonging to the family of Orthomyxoviridae. This virus produces flu with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and coughing. Oseltamivir is a drug that inhibits the enzyme neuraminidase.

Cytopathic effect on susceptible cells is an important way to detect viral production. Regarding the topic, describe the cytopathic observations of at least three viruses (Human papillomavirus infection, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes simplex).
Select all that may apply. What is the purpose of incubating the lambda phage/E.coli mixture at room temperature for 20min?
Incubation at room temperature inactivates the cI repressor.
During incubation at room temperature the lambda phage will enter the lytic cycle.
Incubation at room temperature allows for the absorption of lambda phage
Incubation at room temperature will allow the lambda phage to remain in the lysogenic cycle.

- Please send me the question in 20 minutes it's very urgent plz findarrow_forwardplease help explain Influenza A virus M2 protein triggers mitochondrial DNA-mediated antiviral immune responses Cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) activates cGAS-mediated antiviral immune responses, but the mechanism by which RNA viruses stimulate mtDNA release remains unknown. Here we show that viroporin activity of influenza virus M2 or encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) 2B protein triggers translocation of mtDNA into the cytosol in a MAVS-dependent manner. Although influenza virus-induced cytosolic mtDNA stimulates cGAS- and DDX41- dependent innate immune responses, the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of influenza virus associates with mtDNA to evade the STING-dependent antiviral immunity. The STINGdependent antiviral signaling is amplified in neighboring cells through gap junctions. In addition, we find that STING-dependent recognition of influenza virus is essential for limiting virus replication in vivo. Our results show a mechanism by which influenza virus stimulates mtDNA release…arrow_forwardBotulinum Toxin identify the species which releases the toxin (if it is man-made then this will be all that is required for this part) identify the step disrupted in the neuromuscular junction pathway Provide any consequences of this disruption.
