You decide to use a plaque assay with a human lung epithelial cell line to compare the effectiveness of the drug. The results of the plaque assay for one strain of influenza are shown below.
Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relative effectiveness of WJ379 at 1 mM compared to oseltamivir at 1 mM? Briefly explain your rationale.
Describe: a.) the mechanism of action of PF-07321332, the active compound
found in the antiviral drug Paxlovid; b.) the viral target that it inhibits; and c.) the
product formed. Use schemes where appropriate to support your answer.

Select the most accurate answer:
Adenoviruses are useful in research interest, select that applies:A. Adenovirus vectors are the most commonly employed vector for cancer gene therapy (edit gene, to introduce oligopeptides for oncolytic virotherapies)B. Adenovirus vectors can be replication-defective (serotype 5); certain essential viral genes are deleted and replaced by a cassette that expresses a foreign therapeutic geneC. Adenoviruses are powerful research tools for investigating virological and cellular events(gene expression) and carriers for new vaccines, such as vaccines against SARS-CoV 2D. the most commonly used adenoviral vectors are derived from human adenovirus serotypes 2 and 5 for in vitro and in vivo gene deliveryE. All of the above

Write briefly.arrow_forwardThe increased incidence of covid-19 cases is due to the delta variant which has been found primarily to be airborne. Viruses and other microorganisms are considered to be constituents of particulate air pollutants. The DENR-EMB requires engineering tools and techniques that would significantly reduce the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. Which of these tools and techniques would be the most appropriate for use in reducing particulate pollutants carrying covid-19 viruses? Why?arrow_forwardPlease consider the figure attached i. The ordinate (i.e., 'y-axis') represents values for the C or G nucleotide base proportion in sequences (or, in this case, genomes).ii. Influenza viruses that infected birds or moved from birds to humans without spreading are characterised by higher A + U content relative to influenza viruses that infected humans for long time periods.iii. Influenza viruses adapted to human hosts are characterised by lower G + C content relative to influenza viruses that infected birds or moved from birds to humans without spreading. iv. Human and swine influenza A H1N1 strains evolved from a birdlike G + C state to a humanlike G + C state since 1918. v. Data such as those depicted in the figure have been interpreted as evidence that the 1918 influenza virus strain originated from a bird influenza virus population.
