Then, during the latency period, the virus lies dormant in the [blank_start]spinal cord[blank_end]. Once reactivated by some sort of insult, the virus travels through the [blank_start]dorsal root ganglion[blank_end] to a specific [blank_start]dermatome[blank_end] and causes [blank_start]shingles[blank_end].

- A100
- B70
22When one of the viral proteins of HPV (p53) is present, what happens to cells of the cervix?
- ACervix cells with mutated DNA survive.
- BThe G2 checkpoint is inhibited, and all cells are able to replicate.
- CAll cell growth is halted and the cervical cells undergo lysis.
23[blank_start]Oncolytic[blank_end] viruses can invade tumor cells and cause cell [blank_start]lysis[blank_end] leading to a destruction of tumor microenvironment and a systemic anti-timor immune response.
- AOncolytic
- Blysis
