Virally Infected Cell (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Cell phenotype, Biological state

Overview

A virally infected cell is a host cell that has been invaded and is actively being used by a virus for replication. It is characterized by the expression of viral proteins, altered cellular metabolism, and potential cytopathic effects. It serves as a factory for producing new viruses and presents altered antigens that can be recognized by the immune system. Targeting virally infected cells is a central strategy in antiviral therapies.

Other names: Virus-infected cellHost cell undergoing viral replication

Mechanism of action

Varies depending on the drug; can include inhibition of viral entry, replication, assembly, or release; enhancement of immune recognition and destruction of infected cells.
