Q

Type II allergice rxns typically occur via what immune response?

A

Small molecules bind to self cell body, making it perceived as “foreign” by immune system. B-cells make IgG, complement system gets involved and phagocytosis.

Q

What are the trades of Type III allergic rxns?

A

Foreign soluble proteins bind to IgG and it complexes. Then lodges in alveoli or vessels. Complement gets involved.

Q

What are the trades of Type IV allergic rxns?

A

Caused by CD4Th1 cells (a minority caused by CD8 cells). Lipid soluble molecules crosses PM, binds to protein, then weird peptides made when it is degraded. Delayed onset (1-3 days after exposure).

Q

Must a mast cell be activated by only one type of Ag?

A

No. If FCERI is cross linked is all that matters. It can even have different FAB regions that bind different Ags.

19
Q

Which are stronger, leukotrienes of histamine?

A

Leukotrienes are about 100x stronger.

20
Q

What is the difference between zoonotic and arbovirus?

A 
zoonotic = from animals
arbovirus = arthropod borne (ticks and mosquitos)
21
Q

What are 4 DNA viruses?

A
  1. adenovirus
  2. parvovirus
  3. small pox (variola)
  4. human papilloma virus
22
Q

What is special about B19 autonomous parvovirus?

A

infects cells of erythroid lineage.

23
Q

How many serotypes of variola are there?

A

1

24
Q

Where does variola carry out its lifecycle in the host cell?

A

cytoplasm

25
Q

What is E1A? How does it work?

A

The master regulator of adenovirus. E1A binds to Rb (host protein) and release E2f which is a TF for all of the viral proteins.

26
Q

What are the master regulatory genes for HPV?

A

E6 and E7. If these are lost, like when the viral DNA enters the host genome, it can become cancerous.

27
Q

All RNA viruses contain their own what?

A

replication machinery (RNA dependent RNA polymerase, reverse transcriptase)

28
Q

What are 4 +strand RNA viruses?

A
  1. picornovirus (polio, coxsackie, rhinovirus)
  2. togavirus (rubella, equine encephalitis)
  3. retroviruses
  4. flaviviruses
29
Q

What is a -strand RNA virus?

A

rhabdovirus (rabies)

34
Q

Tell me about picornoviruses

A

Q

Tell me about caliciviridae

A
  • RNA virus
  • no envelope
  • norovirus, cause of epidemic GI issues, common on cruise ships
37
Q

What does influenza virus block?

A

NS1 virulence factor blocks interferon production

38
Q

How many types of influenza are there?

A

3: A, B, C

* C is rare and not associated with large outbreaks

39
Q

What type of capsid does herpes have?
