During your internship at Big Pharma, you discover a compound that opsonized the herpes simplex virus, reducing the duration of the outbreak. Which step of viral replication is the drug most likely interfering with

A. Attachment

B. Penetration

C. biosynthesis

D. Viral assembly/ maturation

E. Viral release is interfered

E. Viral release is interfered

Explanation:

Herpes virus is responsible for causing sores in the mouth and around it. The sores can also be found on the genitals. This virus is transmitted by sexual intercourse. The opsonization can help in reducing the time duration for the outbreak to occur.

The immunoglobulins will attack the virus particles and will have a phagocytic action on them by engulfing them. Thus this provides a barrier to the release of new viral particles in the host genome and provides immunity to the body.
