Future Technology 20 years into the future‚ the ILDD will aim to destroy viruses by disrupting the lysogenic cycle of the virus. The lysogenic cycle of the virus‚ one of the two reproductive cycles of a virus‚ involves the replication of a DNA molecule and the attachment of the virus to its host cell. The ILDD’s structure consists of an outer shell and the interior components. The outer shell would dissolve into the blood of the body 48 hours after the initial injection. The interior components

heparan sulfate proteoglycans/heparin sulfate play a major role in the binding process.19 After binding‚ through endocytosis the virus enters basal epithelial cells‚ and endosome/lysosome cause capsid disassembly. Next‚ the L2 protein facilitates transfer of the viral genome to nuclei of keratinocytes‚20 and with the help of early viral proteins (E1 and E2)‚ the virus maintains its episomal form and replicates in synchrony with host
