Objectives

Presentation slides that provide a more detailed knowledge about the antiviral and resistance.

Description

Viruses are compulsorily intracellular parasites, and they have to use the mechanisms of the cell in order to replicate. Therefore, the possible targets of the antiviral drugs are reduced because attacking the cells may cause severe side effects. The available antivirals against the influenza are specifics for their proteins and act in two stages of the viral cycle:
the unwrapping and the rapid growth. The unwrapping is the event where the virus leaves from the endosome through the disassociation of the M1 capsid protein and the RNPs, allowing the viral RNA invade the cell nucleus.
