FINAL 05 - HIV and Oncogenic Viruses Flashcards
A virus that is transmitted sexually, parenterally, and vertically; originated from cross-species infections by simian viruses in rural Africa
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
HIV is from the genus __________, a member of the family Retroviridae
Lentivirus
HIV is from the genus Lentivirus, a member of the family __________
Retroviridae
2 subtypes of HIV
HIV-1, HIV-2
Target host cell of HIV
CD4+ cells
Attachment protein (HIV virulence factors)
gp120
Fusion protein (HIV virulence factors)
gp41
Converts RNA to DNA (HIV virulence factors)
Reverse transcriptase
Incorporates viral DNA to host DNA (HIV virulence factors)
Integrase
Cleave the viral gag and gag-pol polypeptide precursors to form the mature virion (HIV virulence factors)
Protease
Phase 1 of HIV
Acute HIV infection
Phase 2 of HIV
Clinical latency
Phase 3 of HIV
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Occurs 2-4 weeks after exposure; characterized by flu-like symptoms and lymphadenopathy (Phases of HIV)
Phase 1 (Acute HIV infection)
In phase 1 (Acute HIV infection), laboratory tests show __________ CD4+ cells/µL
≥500
Refers to asymptomatic HIV infection or chronic HIV infection; CD4+ declines and virus increases (Phases of HIV)
Phase 2 (Clinical latency)
In phase 2 (Clinical latency), laboratory tests show __________ CD4+ cells/µL
200-499
Presence of at least 1 AIDS-defining condition (Phases of HIV)
Stage 3 (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS])
In phase 3 (AIDS), laboratory tests show __________ CD4+ cells/µL
<200
