Definition of retrovirus in English:

retrovirus

noun ˈrɛtrəʊˌvʌɪrəsˈrɛtroʊˌvaɪrəs

Biology

Any of a group of RNA viruses which insert a DNA copy of their genome into the host cell in order to replicate, e.g. HIV.
〔生〕反转录病毒
Example sentencesExamples
- Thus far, adenoviruses and retroviruses are the two families of viruses that have been used in the majority of clinical trials.
- All retroviruses are similar, and our genome is full of dormant retroviruses - over 2 percent of the genome is retroviral.
- I'm not talking about a vaccine, which most scientists consider a pipe dream against a diverse and constantly mutating retrovirus like HIV.
- HIV is an RNA virus (ie, it carries its genetic code in the form of RNA) and falls under the family of retroviruses.
- As a vehicle for gene therapy, the retrovirus is modified so that it cannot produce infectious virus after entering the cell.

Derivatives

retroviral

adjective ˈrɛtrəʊˌvʌɪərəl

Biology

The majority of chemotherapeutic strategies have, therefore, focused on the development of retroviral enzyme inhibitors.
Example sentencesExamples
- Hypericin may give promise to patients with AIDS because it has inhibited retroviral infections in animal and laboratory tests.
- Patients should be informed about the signs and symptoms of acute retroviral infection and should be asked to return for evaluation if these occur.
- Health care workers exposed to HIV-positive patients should be given retroviral medications and monitored for specific side effects associated with the medications.
- Over the past two decades, a number of important advances have been made in the arena of retroviral testing.

Origin

1970s: modern Latin, from the initial letters of reverse transcriptase + virus.
