Q

Beta herpes

A

Cytomegalic (enlargement of cell)

Live in mononuclear cells /glands/ kidneys

Cytomegalovirus, type 6,7

17
Q

Gamma herpes

A

Lymphoproliferative

Live in lymphoid tissue blood vessels

Epstein Barr virus
Kaposis sarcoma

18
Q

HSV 4 basic structural elements

A

Electron opaque core contains DNA
Icosahedral capsid surrounding core
Tegument- unstructured proteinacous layer surrounding capsid
Outer lipid bilayer with spikes on surface (envelope has 11 glycoproteins)

19
Q

Important tegument proteins

A

Surround the capsid

Involved in initiation of replication
VP16 virion transactivator (aka alpha-TIF)

Virion host shut off protein VHS

20
Q

Steps for fusion (1’pathway)

A

Viral envelope fuses w cell membrane

Capsid transported to nucleus via microtubular network

Capsid fuses w nuclear pore

Viral DNA is released

21
Q

Secondary pathway for entry

A

Endocytosis of enveloped capsid

Receptor dependent fusion of envelope w membrane of endocytic vesicle

Capsid has to be released from envelope and the membrane it got from the cell membrane durin endocytosis

22
Q

How virus envelope interacts with cell surface - glycoproteins

A

Binding of gC and gB to cell GAGs

gD interacts with specific receptors to allow for fusion of envelope to plasma membrane

23
Q

VHS

A

Turns off host protein synthesis
Degrades host mRNA

Released from tegument

24
Q

Alpha TIF or VP16

A

Imitates transcription of immediate early genes

Released from tegument

25
Q

Once at the nuclear pore viral replication step: TREE

A

Transcription of genes
Relocation of dna
Encapsidstion - pack DNA
Egress of virion out of nucleus

26
Q

Immediate early protein alpha

A

Regulate viral replication

27
Q

Early protein beta

A

Make and pack dna

Uses viral DNA polymerase

28
Q

Late proteins gamma

A

Involved in capsid formation

29
Q

How does latent infections happen

A

Some of the viral DNA is made to heterchromatin (inaccessible to DNA binding factorS)

Results in latency associated transcript lat RNA

= latent infection

VP16 activation will cause reactivation = acute infection

30
Q

Epithelial lyric infection

A

VP16 and host cell factors go to nucleus

IE genes are expressed

VP16 n icp0 infected cell protein decrease heterochromatin infx

Genome associates w euchromatin

Active gene expression

31
Q

Neuronal cell latent infx

A

VP16 goes to cytoplasm

lat promotes heterochromatin formation

Genomes associates w heterochromatin

Silence of gene expression

32
Q

Syncytium

A

Formation of multi nucleate enlarged cells due to fusion of infected cell w neighbouring cells
Allows spread of viral proteins

33
Q

Trigeminal ganglion

A

Primary site for latency of HSV1

34
Q

Sacral ganglion

A

Primary site of latency for hsv2

35
Q

Clinical manifestations of HSV1

A

Herpes labialis -cold sore

Eczema herpeticum - loss of large area of epithelium. Loss of body fluids. Causes secondary bacterial infections

Meningoencephalitis - can be fatal

Eye- blepharitis and keratoconjunctivitis
