Best Answer

The envelope would be antigenic. Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked.

What is the mechanism of release for enveloped viruses?

Enveloped viruses are released from host cells through a process called budding. During budding, the virus acquires a lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane, which surrounds the viral particles as they exit the host cell. This process allows enveloped viruses to leave the host cell without causing immediate cell death, facilitating their ability to infect other cells.


What is the antigenic determinant site is that portion of the antigens exposed surface?

that's the part where the antibody attacks.


What do enveloped viruses possess?

As the virus is leaving the cell (budding), it sometimes takes along a part of the cell's membrane called the envelope. Those viruses without an envelope are called "naked" viruses. Those with one are said to be enveloped.

What is a reterovirus?

A retrovirus is a type of RNA virus that uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA genome into DNA once inside a host cell. This DNA is then integrated into the host cell's genome, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and HTLV.


What kingdom does the Ebola virus belong to?

Ebola is a virus, and as such, it is not part of any of the kingdoms of life.


Can shingles bleed?

Herpes is the name of the virus; a virus has no blood.If you mean can a part of the body which is affected by herpes bleed, it depends on what sort of herpes virus you have and which part of the body.A cold sore, caused by the herpes virus, can indeed crack and bleed.


How do you determine that an outbreak of a disease is not associated with our vaccine virus?

Almost no vaccines carry any active part of a virus- most are inactivated virus, dead virus, or only a piece of the virus, therefore it would be impossible to get sick from the disease the virus is protecting against, and therefore also impossible to then transmit that disease. This theory is a myth of vaccine safety. See the related link for more information.


Does a portion of the viral envelope come from the cell membrane of the host cell?

Yes, a portion of the viral envelope can come from the host cell membrane. When a virus buds out of a host cell, it can acquire some of the host cell's membrane components, incorporating them into its envelope.
