Influenza Virus Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5222
The Influenza Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of the influenza virus, the enveloped RNA virus responsible for seasonal and pandemic flu. Designed for microbiology and virology laboratories, this influenza virus teaching model illustrates the surface and internal features that define this important human pathogen.
The influenza virus is a spherical, enveloped virus whose outer lipid membrane is studded with two key glycoprotein spikes, hemagglutinin, which binds to receptors on host cells and mediates entry, and neuraminidase, which assists the release of newly formed virus particles from infected cells. Beneath the envelope lies a matrix protein layer, and inside the virion the genome consists of several segments of single-stranded RNA, each associated with nucleoprotein and viral RNA polymerase to form ribonucleoprotein complexes. Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes, such as H1N1 or H3N2, based on the specific combination of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase types present. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this structure enlarged for classroom study.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Influenza Virus Model show?
It shows the structure of the influenza virus, including its hemagglutinin and neuraminidase surface spikes and segmented RNA genome.
Q2. What is the function of hemagglutinin?
Hemagglutinin binds to receptors on host cells and mediates viral entry into the cell.
Q3. How are influenza subtypes named?
Influenza A subtypes, such as H1N1 or H3N2, are named according to the combination of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase types they carry.
Q4. Who uses this teaching model?
It is used in microbiology and virology courses at schools, colleges and medical training institutes.
Q5. Does Jaincolab supply this model outside India?
Yes, Jaincolab supplies this model to educational institutions across India and internationally.
