English term or phrase: host cell
Definition from Merriam-Webster:
A living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent (such as a bacterium or a virus).

Example sentence(s):
  • Membrane fusion, they explained, is a multi-step process that begins with the virus recognising that it's found the right type of cell to infect. To do this, the virus receives feedback from the chemical environment, including cues like the receptor that the host cell presents, the study noted. The virus then attaches to the host cell receptor by way of the spike protein on its surface, it said. India Times
  • Other host pathways determined to be highly important in SARS and MERS-CoV replication include vesicle trafficking within the endoplasmic reticulum of host cells. It has been determined that the replicase-transcriptase machinery of the coronavirus assembles at the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and viral structural proteins assemble within the host ER, making it an essential cellular component and potential drug target to block both viral genome replication and capsid assembly in the formation of new virus particles during infection. Drug Target Review
  • And although the mechanism by which ivermectin works against the virus is not known, Wagstaff suggested it is likely that, based on its action in other viruses, the drug acts to stop the virus dampening down the host cells’ ability to clear it. GenEng News

Værtscelle


Definition from Den Danske Ordbog:
1: biologi celle som er inficeret med en virus eller en bakterie som formerer sig i cellen
2: biologi celle som tilføres arvemateriale fra en anden organisme i forbindelse med gensplejsning

Example sentence(s):
  • Virus er en mikroorganisme, som kan være årsag til smitsomme sygdomme, fx forkølelse, influenza og leverbetændelse. Virus trænger ind i og udnytter levende celler og kan kun formere sig i disse; uden for en værtscelle eksisterer viruspartiklen som en livløs organisme uden eget stofskifte. - Den Store Danske  
  • Virus består af genetisk materiale (DNA eller RNA), som er omgivet af en proteinkappe. Denne kappe kan sætte sig på værtscellen, hvorefter det genetiske materiale kan trænge ind i cellen. - Netdoktor.dk  
  • Influenza skyldes infektion i luftvejene med en virus, som kan sprede sig hurtigt fra person til person via luftbårne partikler. Hvis partiklerne indåndes, vil de komme ned i luftrøret og ned i lungerne. Her vil proteinpigge på overfladen af virus binde sig til proteiner på de celler, som udgør slimhinden i luftvejene. Virus trænger ind i cellerne, som kommer til at fungere som en fabrik til masseproduktion af virus. De nydannede virus forlader igen værtscellerne og spredes videre ud i lungerne. Det inficerede væv hæver op, bliver betændt, og der opstår symptomer som hoste, ondt i halsen og rindende, tilstoppet næse. - Sundhed.dk
