Acellular Flashcards
Virion Shapes
polyhedral, helical, spherical, complex
Innate Immunity
non-specific, NK, Granulocytes
Adaptive Immunity
specific, antibody, T/B cells
Interferon
Type of cytokine, signaling protein, altering cells to activate antiviral defenses
Cytokines
small, signaling proteins that act as messengers between cells
Viral Replication
Attachment, entry, synthesis of viral proteins, self-assembly of visions, release of progeny
Three Forms of Animal Cell Viral Entry
- Enveloped fusion
- Enveloped Endocytosis
- Non-enveloped Endocytosis
Acute Infection
cell death and virus release
Latent Infection
viral components are present host is not harmed yet
Chronic Infection
slow release of virus without cell death
Transformation
malignant cell, inactivation of tumor suppressor protein
Viroids
closed circular ssRNAs
Prions
infectious proteins that cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases
dsDNA virus
dsDNA -> mRNA (vaccinia)
ssDNA virus
ssDNA -> dsDNA -> mRNA (Parvovirus)
dsRNA virus
dsRNA -> mRNA (rota)
+RNA
+RNA = mRNA -> -RNA (corona/noro)
-RNA
-RNA -> +RNA (rabies/flu)
Retrovirus
ssRNA -> dsDNA -> mRNA (HIV)
Reverse Transcribing DNA virus
dsDNA -> mRNA (HepB)
Herpes Pathway
Adsorption -> Penetration and Uncoating -> Immediate Early Proetins -> Early Proetins -> Late Proteins -> Virion Assembly
