Final Flashcards
treatment for influenza?
Tamiflu
difference between influenza A and B?
A= H1N1; causes drifting; use amanthadine to target M2 protein
B= does NOT cause a shift; use TAMIFLU; targets the NA (nerve an…) on 6th segment
How much A and how much B in influenza injections?
2-3 A
1 B
Epstein Barr is?
LMPs?
Herpes
latent membrane proteins (LMPs) 1 and 2 have oncoprotein-like activity
Epstein-Bar-encoded RNA (EBER) molecules, EBER-1 and EBER-2 may also have roles in oncogenics
HBD vs HBV
HBD= hep D HBV= hep B
HBD NEEDS HBV either prier or as a co-infection!
need HBV surface antigen to create capsid
rubella vs toga virus transmission?
- rubella is person to perspn
* togo is via insect; ALPHA
Varicella zoster means?
varicella= chickenpox zoster= shingles later on
five childhood exanthems?
their associations?
1) Measles – paramyxovirus Measles virus
2) Rubella – a Toga virus, Rubella virus
3) Chickenpox – a Herpes virus, Varicella Zoster
4) Roseola – a Herpes virus, Herpes 6, 7
5) Fifth disease – Parvovirus B19
Measles as childhood exanthem example?
a paramyxovirus Measles virus
Rubella as childhood exanthem example?
a Toga viridea (an alpha form of Rubella virus)
Chickenpox as childhood exanthem example?
Herpes virus, Varicella Zoster
Roseola as childhood exanthem example?
a Herpes virus, Herpes 6, 7
**T-cells affected, mild, asymptomatic
Fifth disease as childhood exanthem example?
Parvovirus B19
*circulating!
Hemagglutination
Presence of virus in secretions; RBCs binding to other RBC’s
Hemadsorption
- presence of hemagglitinin protein on cell surface
* RBC’s binding to something else (cell, virus, surface, etc.)
Inhibition of hemadsorption
identification of influenza type and strain
hemagglutinin
attachment protein, fusion protein, target of antibody for hemadsorption!!!
neuraminidase
Targeted by?
cleaves sialic acid and promotes virus release or entry ENZYME
*• targeted by zanamivir (Relenza) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
what is the MOST common oportunistic when working with AIDS?
Pneumocytisis jerovecii
Pneumocytisis jerovecii
*only fungi to what?
life threatening due to pnemonia
- ONLY fungi to react to antibodies
- oppotunistic bacteria
- MOST common opportunist for AIDS
when does Pneumocytisis jerovecii take over?
when CD4 T-cells fall below 200
why is piconarvirus genome cruciform structure importtant?
allows the genome it to function as mRNA right away once it enters cytoplasm of cell! Needs no processing
describe 5’ and 3’ end of piconarvirus genome?
5’ end
o Vpg -functions as primer for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase as it becomes uridylated
o IRES =Internal ribosome entry site on 5’ end allows for translation in a 5’ cap independent manner
3’ end
o polyA tail
measles transportant? type of virus?
circulating immune compex= suppresent!
*Paramyxovirus
paravirus B19 targets?
RBC precursors and my cause anemia or other blood diseases
retrovirius
HIV
Immunosuppression
*has an RNA genome that must be reverses into DNA
HPV is RNA or DNA?
DNA
