Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibodies against specific proteins not found in the host membranes would be the best technique to analyze viral envelopes. This is because viral envelopes have unique proteins that are not found in the host cell membranes, making it possible to distinguish and target the viral envelope specifically.
