Preferred Label : Viropexis;
Définition CISMeF : Viropexis is the process by which different classes of viruses—particularly picornaviruses
and papovaviruses—enter the host cell in which they will be able to replicate. The
hydrophobic structures of the capsid proteins may be exposed after viral binding to
the cell (see viral attachment protein). These structures help the virion or the viral
genome slip through the membrane. It can be juxtaposed with viral endocytosis, which
is receptor mediated, and doesn't involve direct penetration of the virion (source
