What triggers the process of endocytosis in the rabies virus replication cycle?
What triggers the process of endocytosis in the rabies virus replication cycle?
- Binding of glycoproteins on the virus to specific receptors on the host cell's surface (correct)
- Acidic substances building up inside the endosome
- Translation of viral proteins by ribosomes in the cytosol
- Transcription of the virus's genome into mRNA
