Effect of Viral Infection on Host Wall Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6217
The Effect of Viral Infection on Host Wall Model (SKU JC-BE-6217) is a bacteriophage lysis model that shows how a lytic phage ends its cycle by destroying the bacterial cell wall. It shows holin forming pores in the cell membrane at a genetically timed point, endolysin passing through them to break peptidoglycan bonds, the loss of wall rigidity, osmotic rupture of the cell and the release of new virions. It supports microbiology and B.Sc life science teaching. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The model is a microbiology teaching model of phage-induced host cell lysis, covering the trigger event, holin, endolysin, the effect on the peptidoglycan wall and release of progeny virions; its dimensions, material and base are not in the current product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Uses of the bacteriophage lysis model
Teachers use the model to explain the final step of the lytic cycle and to show how two phage proteins act together to break open the host cell.
- Explaining the timing of lysis after phage assembly
- Showing holin pores in the host cell membrane
- Demonstrating endolysin breaking down peptidoglycan
- Linking wall weakening with osmotic rupture of the cell
- Illustrating how cytolytic viruses damage host structures
