2. Provirus
   A non-infectious intra-cellular form of a virus; the genome of a virus - essentially a nucleic acid; it is perpetuated in stable association with the internal structure of the host cell.

4. provirus
   virus that is integrated into the the chromosome of a host cell and is transmited in that form from one host cell generation to another without leading to the lysis of the host cells Category: Medicine

5. provirus
   The genome of a virus when it is integrated into the host cell DNA. In the case of the retroviruses, their RNA genome has first to be transcribed to DNA by reverse transcriptase. The genes of the provirus may be transcribed and expressed, or the provirus may be maintained in a latent condition. The integration of the oncogenic viruses, such as Papovaviridae and retroviruses can lead to cell transformation.

7. provirus
   (pro-vi´rәs) a DNA transcript of an RNA virus that migrates from the cytoplasm into the nucleus and integrates into the host genome by crossing over so that it will be thus replicated in the daughter cells.

8. provirus
   Type: Term Pronunciation: prō-vī′rŭs Definitions: 1. The precursor of an animal virus, usually a retrovirus; theoretically analogous to the prophage in bacteria, the provirus is integrated in the nucleus of infected cells and can be activated in response to certain stimuli.

9. Provirus
   A `provirus` is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell. This state can be a stage of virus replication, or a state that persists over longer periods of time as either inactive viral infections or an endogenous retrovirus. In inactive viral infections the virus will not replica...
