Which viral component is responsible for inducing a host cell to take in an influenzavirus by endocytosis?

The viral component that is responsible for inducing a host cell to take in an influenza virus by endocytosis would be hemagglutinin. It is a glycoprotein that can be found in the surfaces of an influenza virus and is essential to its entry to hosts. It is the substance that is responsible for allowing the virus to bind to cells especially cells in the respiratory tract. It also causes the RBC or the red blood cells to agglutinate or clump together. The hemagglutinin is cylindrical in shape and is 13.5 nm in length. It has 18 different antigens wherein they are named H1 to H18. 

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

there are many types of white blood cells present in our body. one such class of white blood cells are the lymphocytes. the b cells belong to the lymphocyte class of wbcs. the b cells perform their action against the pathogen by producing specialised proteins called as antibodies. these antibodies are produced as and when the b cells encounter pathogens in response to the antigens present on the surface of the pathogen. these antibodies bind to the antigens present on the pathogen and then, target them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.
