virus activation

Preferred Label : virus activation;

MeSH definition : The mechanism by which latent viruses, such as genetically transmitted tumor viruses (PROVIRUSES) or PROPHAGES of lysogenic bacteria, are induced to replicate and then released as infectious viruses. It may be effected by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including B-cell LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES, glucocorticoid hormones, halogenated pyrimidines, IONIZING RADIATION, ultraviolet light, and superinfecting viruses.;

MeSH synonym : activations, viral; virus induction; activations, virus; induction, virus; virus activations; viral activation; activation, viral; activation, virus; viral activations; inductions, virus; virus inductions;

MeSH hyponym : prophage induction; prophage excision; Induction, Prophage; Inductions, Prophage; Prophage Inductions; Excision, Prophage; Excisions, Prophage; Prophage Excisions;

MeSH annotation : coord with specific virus /physiol (IM or NIM);
