Host organization

A virus is a species containing DNA and RNA that can reproduce itself, but to do this, it needs to hijack the metabolism (cells) of a host organism, since it has no information itself with which to build cells. 

Drugs. Ttifluoromethyl-based pharmaceuticals had been limited to phenothiatine tranquilizers and benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide diuretics (qv). However, new dmgs have been developed (Table 11). One of the key properties of the CF group is its high lipophilicity it increases the Hpid solubiUty of the pharmaceutical and thus accelerates absorption and transport within the host organism.

Note that the following information will need to be modified to meet the needs of the eurrent organization. The size of the host organization and the roles of management within the organization are key items that need to be eonsidered. This information, as presented, is meant to elosely meet the needs of a mid-sized eompany. But no matter what size eompany will use this information, it will need modifieations. These modifieations will inelude forms and attaehments that have not been ineluded. We believe that eaeh host organization should develop its own proeedures, ineluding its own forms and attaehments to fit its needs, personnel, and business strueture. 

No matter how large or small an organization is, there will invariably be many times when a host organization will need to get outside assistanee to ensure that eertain work tasks will be properly eompleted. 

The process of engaging the required capabilities must be a formal process so that both the organization in need and the contractor/sub-contractor are protected in the event of a failure to perform, an accident, or a difference of opinion as to terms or performance. Adherence to the provisions of this procedure will help attain good contracting practices and minimize the potential liabilities to the host organization in contractual relationships.

Interferon (IFN) differs from bona fide antiviral diugs since it is a natural defense protein of the host organism and does not directly interfere with the viral replication steps. Interferons are small glycoproteins inducing immune modulatory and antiviral activities. They are secreted by lymphocytes, leukocytes and fibroblasts in response to foreign nucleic acids (dsRNA). 

Biotin can be synthesized by the human colon flora. The question to which extent this production contributes to covering the host-organism s requirements is, however, subject to discussion. In most foods of animal origin as well as in cereals, biotin prevails in the protein (= enzyme)-bound form as e-N-biotinyl-L-lysine (= biocytin). Brewer s yeast, liver, soya beans, and peanuts number among the biotin rich foods [1].
