XEC is a recombinant, that is, it resulted when two strains infected an individual, and inside a single cell infected with both strains, during replication, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase replicated part of the genome of the first, dropped off and attached to the genome of the second, replicated part of it, dropped off, reattached to the genome of the first, etc., yielding a replicated genome consisting of parts of both strains. This type of recombination, that can result in substantially different antigenic structures on the virus that can lead to immune escape, is termed ______. Copyright 2024 by Dr. Jonathan A. Miller.
