  Mysterious Invaders - A Closer Look at Viruses
Viruses that undergo the lytic cycle can be characterized as the viruses that are on a mission to "seek out and destroy" their host cell.
Penetration of the membrane occurs and the DNA is altered and the host cell actas as a viral manufacturing site until the cell eventually bursts to release the viral by-products into the body.
This cycle is slightly different from the lytic cycle in that the virus tends to become part of the cellular infrastructure instead of just destroying the host cell all together.

  Lytic cycle - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The lytic cycle is one of the two cycles of viral reproduction, the other being the lysogenic cycle.
The lytic cycle is typically considered the main method of viral replication, since it results in the destruction of the infected cell.
In the lytic cycle, the virus invades the bacteria, and toxins are released, while in the lysogenic cycle, the virus invades the bacteria and takes over its DNA.

 Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of a Bacteriophage - Picture - MSN Encarta
All bacteriophages (viruses that parasitize bacteria) have a lytic or infectious cycle, in which the virus, incapable of replicating itself, injects its genetic material into a bacterium.
The injected genetic material instead integrates itself into its host DNA, passively replicating with it to be inherited by bacterial daughter cells.
In about 1 in 100,000 of these lysogenic cells, the viral DNA spontaneously activates and starts a new lytic cycle.

Lytic bacteriophages attach to the cell wall of a bacterial cell and inject viral DNA into the cell.
Bacteriophages that reproduce using only the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages, while phages that can undergo both modes of replication are called temperate phages.
The study of temperate phages, and the process whereby the lysogenic or lytic pathway is activated, has led to fundamental discoveries in mechanisms that control the regulation of gene expression.

In the lytic cycle the host cell undergoes lysis (the breaking open of the cell to release viral particles), biosynthesis, maturation and finally release.
In the lytic cycle the cell is soon destroyed and the viruses made will have to find new host.
However during the lysogenic stage the DNA of the bacteria is spliced using restriction enzymes and the virus's DNA (or RNA turned to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase) is integrated into the spliced section of the hosts DNA.

 Intralytix, Inc. - Phage Technology
At the present time, Intralytix’s library of lytic bacteriophages is one of the largest and best characterized in the world.
Also, it is continuously being updated with new phages, in order to include bacteriophages lytic against additional bacterial pathogens or bacterial strains of particular concern in specific geographic locations or in specific food processing or clinical settings.
This leads to membrane-disruption later in the phage’s lytic cycle, which enables large numbers of newly-assembled phage particles to be released from the bacterium, and the host cell’s death.

 Researchers find novel way to treat Epstein-Barr virus associated tumors
They were fortunate in that one of the genes that is expressed upon viral lytic induction is EBV's thymidine kinase (EBV-TK), an enzyme that helps the virus begin to reproduce.
The method is highly sensitive, he says: as few as five percent of the cells within the tumor mass needed to be induced into the lytic cycle in order to be detected.
Results of this study suggests that this strategy could be applied to other viruses associated with tumors, and that other drugs may potentially be used to activate these viruses, Pomper says.

 lytic cycle Information Center - lysogenic and lytic cycle diagram
The lytic cycle is typically thought of as the main method of viral replication, since it results in the destruction of the infected cell, which is how viruses cause damage to their hosts.
In the case of DNA viruses, the DNA transcribes itself into lytic vs lysogenic life cycle messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that are then used to direct the ribosome.
The cell eventually becomes filled with viruses (typically 100-200) until it bursts, or lysogenic and lytic cycle diagram lyses; this end process gives the cycle its name.

 * Lytic cycle - (Biology): Definition
A type of viral replication cycle resulting in the release of new phages by death or lysis of the host cell.
Mechanistically, these enzymes are very well characterized: they share a common catalytic cycle that involves formation of a two-electron oxidized intermediate (Compound I) followed by reduction of Compound I by substrate.
The lytic cycle occurs when the viral DNA immediately takes over the host cell (remember that viruses are obligate intracellular parasites) and begins making new viruses.

Conclusions.-Our findings suggest that EBV-infected lymphoma cells in the lytic cycle, which eventually lapse into cell death, are phagocytosed prior to their rupture by macrophages that have migrated into the parenchyma.
We emphasize that transition of EBV-infected lymphoma cells to the lytic cycle is one of the histomorphogenetic factors influencing the formation of starry sky pattern in endemic BL.

In this study, we have developed a novel strategy to isolate populations of cells in an EBV lytic cycle based on the expression of a reporter gene under the control of an EBV early lytic cycle promoter.
Thus, induction of the viral lytic cycle in transfected EBV(+) B lymphoma cells resulted in concomitant reporter expression, allowing us, for the first time, to isolate highly purified cell populations in lytic cycle for biochemical and functional studies.
Moreover, during lytic cycle peptide transport into the endoplasmic reticulum, was reduced to <30% of levels found in latent infection.

 Three pathways of Epstein-Barr virus gene activation from EBNA1-positive latency in B lymphocytes.
The present study set out to determine whether activation of full virus latent-gene expression was a necessary accompaniment to induction of the lytic cycle in Burkitt's lymphoma lines.
A first, rapid response pathway involves direct entry of cells into the lytic cycle without broadening of the pattern of latent gene expression; thereafter, the three "latent" LMPs are expressed as early lytic cycle antigens.
A third response pathway in yet another subpopulation involves the selective activation of LMPs, with no induction of the lytic cycle and with EBNA expression still restricted to EBNA1; this type of latent infection in B lymphocytes has hitherto not been described.
