Q

Overview of HPV genome

A

E1-E7= early genes (nonstructural)

L1 and L2=late genes (structural)
-capsid genes
-l1 very important for HPV vaccine

URR=upstream regulatory region

29
Q

E1-E7= early genes (nonstructural)

A
  • E6 and 7 proteins play major role in immortal and malignant transformation of infected cells
    -E5 has role but not required to maintain cancer phenotype
30
Q

L1 and L2=late genes (structural)

A

-capsid genes
-l1 very important for HPV vaccine

31
Q

What is used in the HPV vaccines

A

recombinant L1 capsid proteins of individual HPV types

Adjuvant: aluminum hydro phosphate sulfate

32
Q

Path of HPV replication

A

-HPV infection occurs in the basal layer of the epidermis
-Once in the basal layer, relies heavily on E6 and E7 to drive replication of the virus

33
Q

What monomers are used for HPV assembly and what do they do?

A

L1= HPV major capsid protein
L2=HPV minor capsid protein
Both are self-assembling

34
Q

How are HPV VLP vaccines created?

A

-Use virus like particles, recombinated L1 capsid proteins of individual types
>Quadrivalent (HPV4)
>Nonvalent (HPV9)

35
Q

What do HPV VLP vaccines protect against?

A

-Protects against strains
-6,11 (75-90% genital warts)
-16,18 (70% cervical cancer)
-31,33, 45, 52, 58

36
Q

What is the genome and structure of the Adenovirus family?

A

DNA genome, double stranded and linear
Icosahedral capsid symmetry, naked

37
Q

Where is the Adenovirus family replicated?

38
Q

How many serotypes does the Adenovirus family have?

A

> 51 serotypes, each can cause varying symptoms

39
Q

Transcription process for Adenovirus family?

A
  1. Due to linear genome, transcription units encode on BOTH strands of the DNA
  2. Immediate Early Genes (E1A/E1B) code for regulatory transactivators
  3. Early Genes (E3-E4) code for viral replication proteins
  4. Late Genes (L1-L5) code for capsid (structural) proteins
