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

Definition from NE:
värdcell, cell som härbärgerar en främmande mikroorganism eller ett virus

Example sentence(s):

Virus förökar sig på två olika sätt. Det ena sättet, ett så kallat lytiskt infektionsförlopp, innebär att viruspartiklarna kidnappar värdcellens maskineri, tillverkar hundratals nya kopior av sig själv, tar död på cellen och därefter sprider sina viruskopior vidare ut i organismen. Det andra sättet, ett latent infektionsförlopp, innebär att viruspartiklar infekterar värdcellen med sitt DNA och därefter sitter viralt DNA kvar i cellerna i ett ”vilande” läge. När värdcellen delar sig, delas viruset och sprids vidare med den nya kopian av värdcellen. - forskning.se
