disease
▪

▪
First, it often occurs after a generally innocuous viral disease .
gene
▪
Integration of the viral genes Nevertheless, some viruses that lack known cancer genes have also been found to induce cancer.
▪
It seems likely that they achieve this by integration of the viral genes next to the cellular copy of a cancer gene.
▪
These discoveries raise intriguing questions about the relationship between viral genes and the normal genes of the cell.
▪
Once viral genes have become integrated into chromosomes their activity is usually altered or totally suppressed.
▪
Proteins made by these viral genes are chewed up and displayed in the normal way when dendritic cells meet the altered bacteria.
hepatitis
▪
We report on patients with chronic viral hepatitis who died of hepatic decompensation during or shortly after interferon alfa treatment.
▪
Human bathers, too, risk viral hepatitis , skin reactions and oral thrush.
▪
These centres had treated 2490 patients with chronic viral hepatitis with interferon alfa.
▪
Some organisations knew about the different types of viral hepatitis and that there is a long incubation period.
▪
Similarly, there are mild disturbances only of acute phase reactants in chronic viral hepatitis .
▪

▪
These conditions include pulmonary tuberculosis, viral hepatitis , streptococcal septicaemia and various other diseases.
infection
▪

▪
Headaches due to viral infections may be accompanied by fever, muscle aches, and malaise.
▪

▪
Newly imported Angelfish sometimes suffer from a viral infection called Lymphocystis.
▪
Gardner missed the Washington road trip last week with a viral infection and is now taking antibiotics.
load
▪
Most patients were experiencing a large drop in viral load .
▪
That goal has been achieved if, after several months of treatment, no virus is found in the viral load .
▪
At the beginning of a cold the viral load will be very high.
▪
Thus there are several patients with an inadequate response who are remaining well despite an unsatisfactory viral load .
protein
▪
Addition of this phosphate group impairs the function of the essential protein , and viral protein synthesis fails to begin.
▪
One of the three drugs they received was ritonavir, an inhibitor of the enzyme protease, which processes key viral proteins .
▪
But exactly how viral protein synthesis is selectively inhibited, leaving cellular protein synthesis relatively unaffected, is still not clear.
▪
During these final stages host enzymes attach carbohydrate groups to certain viral proteins , converting them into glycoproteins.
replication
▪
These data suggest that the risk of liver damage is greatest in patients with active viral replication before operation.
▪
The cells destroy infected cells early, before they produce virus, thereby inhibiting viral replication , the company said.
▪
Loss of viral replication by interferon can lead to a substantial regression of liver disease and probably prolonged survival.
▪
These contain HBsAg and both nuclear and cytoplasmic HBcAg, signifying intense viral replication .
