Herpes & HPV Flashcards
cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a protypical member of
betaherpesvirus
this herpes type is characterized by variable host range, short replication cycle, rapid culture spread, efficient cell destruction, sensory ganglia latency
alphaherpesvirus
this herpes type is characterized by restricted host range, long replication cycle, slow growth in culture, CYTOMEGLIA, latency in a variety of tissues
betaherpesvirus
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a prototypical member of
gammaherpesvirus
this herpes type targets T & B lymphocytes, causes lytic infections, restricted host range, lymphoid tissue latency
gammaherpesvirus
Burkett’s lymphoma
EBV (gammaherpesvirus) associated carcinoma
Hodgkin’s lymphoma
EBV present in majority of tumors
which herpes virus does not have an innate antiviral host response
EBV
persist in hematopoietic progenitor cells and macrophages in vitro ; common persistent infection (not latency)
CMV
persistence of genome in memory B cells ; virus proteins ensure B cell proliferation and ___ genome replication
EBV
Role of antiviral therapy
inhibit viral genome replication
T/F? antiviral therapy ideal treatment for EBV induced lymphoproliferation
false
why is antiviral therapy not effective for EBV induced lymphoproliferation
act to inhibit viral genome replication but genome replication not essential for viral genome expression
genome for all herpes viruses and HPV
dsDNA
virion type for all herpesvirus
enveloped
virion type for HPV
non-enveloped
HPV proteins
L1 - cell attachment
L2 - membrane protection
how does HPV gain access?
abrasion of the skin
where does HPV establish infection ?
basal layer
required for HPV genome replication
cell polymerase
HPV releases a (lytic/non lytic) virus?
non lytic
HPV infection caused by
direct skin-skin contact - abrasions
fomites
mucous membranes more susceptible
rare complication of HPV
respiratory papillomatosis
HPV oncogenesis
cervical cancer
virus replication requires actively replicating cells
block tumor suppressor pathway and retinoblastoma protein for continued cell proliferation
