Examples of lysis in the following topics:
-
- Some lytic phages undergo a phenomenon known as lysis inhibition, where completed phage progeny will not immediately lyse out of the cell if extracellular phage concentrations are high.
- At this point they initiate the reproductive cycle, resulting in lysis of the host cell.
-
- Some infected cells, such as those infected by the common cold virus known as rhinovirus, die through lysis (bursting) or apoptosis (programmed cell death or "cell suicide"), releasing all progeny virions at once.
- During the budding process, the cell does not undergo lysis and is not immediately killed.
-
- During the acute phase, HIV-induced cell lysis and killing of infected cells by cytotoxic T cells accounts for CD4+ T cell depletion, although apoptosis (programmed cell death) may also be a factor.
-
- Cells are broken using a lysis buffer (a solution that is mostly a detergent); lysis means "to split."
-
- Systemic lupus erythematosus may affect the heart, joints, lungs, skin, kidneys, central nervous system, or other tissues, causing tissue damage via antibody binding, complement recruitment, lysis, and inflammation .
-
- ATP breakdown into ADP and Pi is called hydrolysis because it consumes a water molecule (hydro-, meaning "water", and lysis, meaning "separation").
-
- It is located outside the cell membrane and prevents osmotic lysis (bursting due to increasing volume).
-
- They also suppress the immune response after the infection has cleared to minimize host cell damage induced by inflammation and cell lysis.
-
- Some organisms, such as plants, fungi, bacteria, and some protists, have cell walls that surround the plasma membrane and prevent cell lysis in a hypotonic solution.
-
- On the other hand, non-enveloped viral progeny, such as rhinoviruses, accumulate in infected cells until there is a signal for lysis or apoptosis, and all virions are released together.
