How the cold virus works 1. The virus binds to the outside of a cell in your upper virus respiratory tract. 2. The virus releases its genetic material into the host cell. host cell genetic material 3. Copies of the genetic material are made and coat proteins are manufactured. coal proteins coples of genetic material 4. The genetic material and coat proteins are assembled into viruses. 5. The newly formed viruses exit the cell, ready to infect more of your cells or the cells of whomever you happen to sneeze or cough on. Symptoms While a cell is infected it sends signals to alert your immune system about the viral invasion.
