retrovirus retrovirus
retrovirus type of RNA virus that, unlike other RNA viruses, reproduces by transcribing itself into DNA.

Factor VIII Factor VIII
Factor VIII (antihaemophilic factor) One of the blood clotting factors. Factor VIII is a soluble protein that stimulates the activation of Factor X by Factor IXa, which in turn converts prothrombin to thrombin, thus causing the fibrin matrix of a blood clot to form. Haemophilia is due to a... Read more
