Virology Lectures 2023 #11: The infected cell

The production of new virus particles depends on the host cell's biosynthetic and metabolic capabilities, signal transduction pathways, and trafficking systems. In this lecture we present an integrated description of how virus infection redirects and often compromises normal cell physiology.

– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded several times each week.

I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

i did not understan how the dsDNA both strands made into mRNA and both have opposite polarity? why both strands is not it only - strand DNA makes mRNA and for DNA synthesis they do use DNA.

Has there been any research on creating a protein similar to Pkr that's activated by dsRNA to inhibit viral DNA? Could modifying Pkr potentially offer long-term immunity against viruses?
