– inhibit neural protein synthesis
What is the disease caused by herpes simplex virus?
What is the pathophys?
herpes infections
– inhibit immune protein synthesis
What is the disease caused by Hepatitis B?
What is the pathophys?

What is the pathophys?
mono; lymphomas
– acute B cell lysis; latent B proliferation
What is the disease caused by ebola?
What is the pathophys?
hemorrhagic fever
– over-activation of the immune system

What are RNA viruses examples?
DNA?
RNA: TMV, HIV
DNA: herpes
What are the various structures of viruses?
protein or lipid
What are mechanisms by which viruses evade immune system?
1) Ag variation
2) blockage of Ag processing
3) block cytokines
4) immunosuppressive (IL-10)
5) kill immune cells
