How can you use “virus-like” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

To ensure that any particular mutation does not grossly perturbed coat protein structure we subjected each of the mutant proteins to a test of its ability to assemble into virus-like particles [ 7], an activity sensitive to folding defects.
#SSH, Suppression Subtractive Hybridization; MOS, Mirror Orientation Selection; PEVE, Planarian extrachromosomal virus-like element; Rep, replication initiator protein; ss, single-stranded; ds, double-stranded; superfamily 3, SF3; RT-PCR, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
Examination of PEVE genome organization and structure reveals that this virus-like element cannot be assigned to any known group of viruses or plasmids, and thus represents a novel type of viral element that encodes two helicases in one genome.
Using the subtractive hybridization technique, we identified a novel planarian virus-like element, PEVE.
Our results imply that most AS-specific clones are linked to an amplified extrachromosomal virus-like element designated PEVE (Planarian Extrachromosomal Virus-like Element).
