Which step of the influenza virus life cycle is inhibited by the antiviral drug Tamiflu?
A
Viral entry into host cells
B
Viral release from host cells
C
Viral replication
D
Viral assembly
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the influenza virus life cycle: The virus undergoes several stages including entry into host cells, replication, assembly, and release from host cells.
Identify the role of Tamiflu: Tamiflu is an antiviral drug known to inhibit a specific stage in the influenza virus life cycle.
Focus on the mechanism of action: Tamiflu works by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme, which is crucial for the release of new viral particles from infected host cells.
Clarify the inhibited stage: Since Tamiflu targets neuraminidase, it specifically prevents the release of viral particles from host cells, thereby stopping the spread of infection.
Review the options: Compare the stages of the virus life cycle with the mechanism of Tamiflu to determine that the inhibited step is the viral release from host cells.
