Antiviral drugs, like Tamiflu and Relenza, that are effective against the influenza virus by preventing viral escape from host cells are called ______.
Which modification of a virus might allow it to infect one cell but would prevent it from releasing additional viruses that could infect other cells? The removal of the viral proteins on the surface of the capsid that bind to host cell receptors, the removal of the reverse transcriptase gene, the addition of viral mRNA to the host cell, or the modification of genes for capsid proteins that render these proteins nonfunctional.
