Question

Injections decrease
aggregates
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fewer large triamcinolone aggregates were noted in the presence of serum when compared to the non-serum control groups. However, when compared to previously studied particulate steroids, it had the largest aggregates when added to serum.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In addition to the conventional release of free, individual virions, virus dispersal can involve multi-virion assemblies that collectively infect cells. However, the implications of collective infection for viral fitness remain largely unexplored. Using vesicular stomatitis virus, here we compare the fitness of free versus saliva-aggregated viral particles. We find that aggregation has a positive effect on early progeny production, conferring a fitness advantage relative to equal numbers of free particles in most cell types.....
