(1) Orthomyxoviridae Flashcards
what is the common MOT for the family of orthomyxo, paramyxo, and rubella virus?
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets, large aerosol droplets
orthomyxo, paramyxo, and rubella virus shows clinical manifesttion when it infects the?
Upper respiratory tract infection
sometimes lower, or viremia (disseminated clinical picture)
major determinant of morbidity and mortality caused by respiratory disease and outbreak of the infection
Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza Virus)
common na sakit ang influenza (flu season)
what is the unique characteristic of Orthomyxoviridae?
Genetic reassrotment
why reoccurence of flu is possible for orthomyxoviridae?
Genetic reassortment (it creates new strain of virus every time)
mas malala pag flu season!
characteristic of Orthomyxoviridae
- Spherical in shape (100-120nm in diameter)
- Single stranded, Negative-sense RNA
- Enveloped
- Segmented
- Helical
- Replication: Cytoplasm
Orthomyxoviridae
Cell is coinfected by a 2 difference viruses of given type and forming a new strain
Genetic Reassortment
Orthomyxoviridae
Transmission
Direct contact or respiratory droplets
Orthomyxoviridae
Disease
influenza
Orthomyxoviridae
how many immunologic types are there in influenza
4
Influenza immunologic types
enumerate the 4 types
Influeza A, B, C, and D
Influenza immunologic types
most and best characterized
all of the characteristics studied are from this type
Influenza A
Influenza immunologic types
Only known to cause flu pandemic
Influenza A
Influenza immunologic types
Most stable; antigenically stable
Influenza C
Influenza immunologic types
Not associated with human infection
Influenza C and D
Influenza immunologic types
also antigenically stable
Not associated with human infection
Influenza D
or C (but C is MOST stable)
enumerate the important structure of unit of virus
- Nuceleoprotein (NP)
- vRNPs
- RNA Polymerase (PB1, PB2, PA)
- Matrix Protein (M1 and M2)
- Hemeagglutinin (HA)
- Neuraminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
associates with the viral RNA to form the ribonucleon protein (vRNPs)
Nuceleoprotein (NP)
Structure of virus
what is used to classify the influenza viruses
NP and M1
no cross reactivity with other structural protein
Structure of virus
forms the viral nucelocapsid
vRNPs (viral ribonucleoprotein complexes)
Structure of virus
Small protein (small sabi ni maam)
Responsible for transcription and replication of virus
RNA Polymerase (PB1, PB2, PA)
Structure of virus
Make the inner lining of the envelope
Matrix Protein 1
Structure of virus
Promote the assembly of the virion
Matrix Protein 1
Structure of virus
Responsible for the uncoating of the virion
Matrix Protein 2
Structure of virus
Channel for allowing the movement of the hydrogen so that the virion will escape the core
Its like a transmembrane na lodge
Matrix Protein 2
Structure of virus
what are the surface protein
Hemeagglutinin (HA) and Neruaminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
This 2 will determine the antigenic variation of the influenza virus and host immunity
Surface Protein: Hemeagglutinin (HA) and Neruaminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
Virus encoated glycoproteins
Exposed on the surface
Surface Protein: Hemeagglutinin (HA) and Neruaminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
Target of the antibody
Surface Protein: Hemeagglutinin (HA) and Neruaminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
capable of agglutinating the red blood cell
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
Structure of virus
surface protein that is more reactive with antibody
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
Structure of virus: surface protein
primarily responsible for the continual evolution of new strains
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
Structure of virus
Major antigen against Ab
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
Structure of virus
cleaved to HA1 and HA2 (to be infectious, if not cleaved not infections)
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
cleaved by proteases in the respiratory epithelium
Structure of virus
Responsible for binding with epithelial cells (as long as may sialic acid) – to infiltrate the human
Hemeagglutinin (HA)
Structure of virus
Sialidase enzyme – to break the bond between HA and sialic acid
will infect another cell once detached
Neruaminidase (NA)
