Virus Removal Cost (VRC) Metric
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a software metric for estimating the cost of removing a virus from infected machines. The metric, Virus Removal Cost (VRC), provides an objective estimate of the cost based on two factors: the characteristics of a virus and the computer skills of persons who try to remove the virus from their machine. The metric can give us an insight into the cost of removing a virus, and, hence, produce more reliable data that reduce the deviation of the estimate of the overall damage cost caused by the virus.

Role of HLA Adaptation in HIV Evolution
Killing of HIV-infected cells by CD8(+) T-cells imposes strong selection pressure on the virus toward escape. The HLA class I molecules that are successful in mediating some degree of control over the virus are those that tend to present epitopes in conserved regions of the proteome, such as in p24 Gag, in which escape also comes at a significant cost to viral replicative capacity (VRC). In som...
متن کاملReply to Jefferys: Declining HIV virulence.
We are grateful for this opportunity, in responding to Jefferys (1), to discuss further the nature of the relationship between HIV replication capacity and disease progression. The published studies [of which seven are cited in Payne et al. (2)] examining the relationship between viral replication capacity (VRC) and viral setpoint, CD4 count, and CD4 decline, overall, have painted a consistent ...
متن کاملThe tobacco mosaic virus 126-kilodalton protein, a constituent of the virus replication complex, alone or within the complex aligns with and traffics along microfilaments.
Virus-induced cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (referred to as virus replication complexes [VRCs]) consisting of virus and host components are observed in plant cells infected with tobacco mosaic virus, but the components that modulate their form and function are not fully understood. Here, we show that the tobacco mosaic virus 126-kD protein fused with green fluorescent protein formed cytoplasmic ...
متن کاملGAPDH-A Recruits a Plant Virus Movement Protein to Cortical Virus Replication Complexes to Facilitate Viral Cell-to-Cell Movement
The formation of virus movement protein (MP)-containing punctate structures on the cortical endoplasmic reticulum is required for efficient intercellular movement of Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV), a bipartite positive-strand RNA plant virus. We found that these cortical punctate structures constitute a viral replication complex (VRC) in addition to the previously reported aggregate s...
متن کاملImpact of HLA Selection Pressure on HIV Fitness at a Population Level in Mexico and Barbados
UNLABELLED Previous studies have demonstrated that effective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses drive the selection of escape mutations that reduce viral replication capacity (VRC). Escape mutations, including those with reduced VRC, can be transmitted and accumulate in a population. Here we compared two antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive HIV clade B-infected cohorts, in Mexico and Barbados...
