1 Viral Exit

There are two ways how mature virons could exit the host cell:

1.1 Lysis

Replicate so much that the membrane burst.

1.2 Budding

  • Trigger extocytosis
  • Meanwhile, send virus's own spikes to the membrane
  • On exit by extocytosis, steal a part of the newly-spikey membrane with it to serve as new casing
