Cytamegalo Virus Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-5225
The Cytamegalo Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpesvirus family. Designed for microbiology and virology laboratories, this cytomegalovirus teaching model illustrates the layered structure typical of herpesviruses.
Cytomegalovirus has an icosahedral protein capsid enclosing a linear, double-stranded DNA genome. Surrounding the capsid is a distinctive protein-rich layer called the tegument, a feature characteristic of herpesviruses, which contains proteins involved in initiating infection soon after the virus enters a host cell. The outermost layer is a lipid envelope, derived from host cell membranes, studded with viral glycoproteins that mediate attachment to and entry into host cells. Infection with cytomegalovirus is often mild or asymptomatic in healthy individuals, but it is medically significant as a leading cause of congenital infection in newborns and can cause serious disease in immunocompromised patients. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this layered structure enlarged for classroom study.
