part of receptor-mediated endocytosis of virus by host cell symbiont entry into host cell caveolin-mediated endocytosis caveolin-mediated endocytosis of virus by host cell 2011-07-27T02:40:04Z GO:0075513 viral entry into host cell via caveolin-mediated endocytosis viral penetration via caveolae-mediated endocytosis followed by endosome disruption VZ:976 jl Any caveolin-mediated endocytosis that is involved in the uptake of a virus into a host cell. Begins when material is taken up into plasma membrane caveolae - specialized lipid rafts that form 50-70 nm flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane - which then pinch off to form endocytic caveolar carriers containing the virus. viral entry into host cell via caveolae-mediated endocytosis biological_process
