Flu virus particle. See-through computer artwork of an influenza (flu) A virus particle (virion). The virus consists of a core of RNA (ribonucleic acid,red and purple,centre) genetic material surrounded by a protein coat. Embedded in the coat are the surface proteins haemagglutinin and neuraminidase. Both surface proteins are associated with the pathogenicity of a virus. Haemagglutinin binds to host cells,allowing the virus to enter them and replicate. Neuraminidase allows the new particles to exit the host after replication | |
