Intro to Virus Flashcards
Viruses rely on what from host
metabolic machinary of host cells
protein biosynthetic machineray of host cell
Intracell phase
replication, transcription, synthesis of proteins and assembly of virons happen inside infected cell
What happens in extracell phase
particles must pass from cell to cell or throughout body o between individuals
any given virus group is described using a collection of individual properties—not necessarily all properties in common
Polythetic
Polytheics key for
idagnosis, idenfificaiton, clarification of life cycle and drug design
classificiation depends on
particle type (what it looks like)
tissue trophism( skin vs respiriorty)
diseae etiology
Serology and genome
Capsids: made from one or few proteins with repeating _____ contacts—these are self assembling
protein-protein
Capsids can form naked viruses or be surrounded by
envelope (matrix proteins lie under envelope)
What are packaging, protection and delivery vehicle during transmission
Capside/envelope
How do neutralizing antiB targed the virus
Exposed proteins on capsid and membrane are the targets of neurtralizing antiB’s; proteins on outside is the source of epitomes that our immune system targets
Whether the virus is naked or enveoloped determines
the virus structure, entry mech and if its suseptible
I:
ds DNA to mRNA
II:
+ ssDNA to dsDNA to mRNA
III:
dsRNA to mRNA
IV:
+ssRNA→ -ssRNA→ +mRNA
V:
-ssRNA→ + mRNA
VI:
+ssRNA → -ssDNA→ dsDNA→ +mRNA
RNA viruses capsids are either
Isocahedral or Helical
Icosahedral RNA viruses are either
while all helical RNA virusese are
naked or enevloped
enveloped`
DNA has three types of capsids:
icosahedral, helical or complex
DNA helical and complex viruses are always
enveloped
DNA icosahedral viuses can be
Naked or enveloped
the viral particle
virion
infectious particle
virus
multiplicity of infection
MOI
cytopathi effect
CPE
