require salt

Question 19

antigen

Answer 19

any molecule (protein, polysaccharide, lipid) that can be bound by an antibody, T cell receptor, or MHC

Question 20

Immunogen

Answer 20

antigens that bind and generate immune response

Question 21

epitope

Answer 21

molecular region of antigen that binds receptor

Question 22

Antigenic drift

Answer 22

Bacteria and viruses

accumulated point mutations over time

antigenically distinct strains

reason for yearly flu vaccine

E. coli, O antigen in LPS
Strep pyogenes: pilin m protein
Influenza virus: H antigen

Question 23

Hemagluttinin

Answer 23

glycoprotein

attaches to host receptors

Question 24

Neurominidase

Answer 24

Enzyme on glycoprotein

Releases virus from host

Question 25

Antigenic Shift

Answer 25

Viruses only Reassortment of viral chromosomes possible pandemic (H5N1, H7N2)

Question 27

Antigenic Switching

Question 28

Phase variation: gene on or off ex: UPEC phase on = fimbriae off = no fimbriae

Question 29

Gene Conversion / Cassette Mechanism

Question 30

"gene shuffling" recombination within group of gene might be 20 genes for pilin, change which one is expressed

Question 31

Gene conversion examples

Answer 31

_N. gonorrhoeae_ ``` _Borrelia recurrentis_ (spirochete) variant surface antigen (relapsing fever) ``` _Plasmodium falciparum_ (malaria) generates variable surface antigen (VSG) detectable antigen - surface RBC (hides from immune system) _Trypanosoma brucei_ African sleeping sickness

Question 32

Homologous recomb.

Answer 32

Requires similare sequence, replaces homologous gene on chromosome

Question 33

Non-homologous recomb.

Answer 33

Site directed No Rec proteins _Addition_ not replacement of DNA

Question 35

NH recomb. examples

Question 36

bacteriophage, plasmids, other MGEs

Question 37

MGEs that are not replicons

Answer 37

replicate nucleic acids autonomously (non-homologous) 1. Insertion Sequence (IS) 2. Transposon (Tn) 3. Pathogenicity Island (PAI) ex: ETEC, UPEC

Question 38

MGEs that are replicons

Answer 38

Plasmids and Bacteriophages replication depends on host machinary

Question 39

Plasmid examples and exception

Answer 39

B. burgdorferi (lyme disease) has linear and circular plasmids, linear chromosomes (spirochete) Tetanus: neurotoxin Exfoliative toxin: staph aurea Enterotoxins: E. coli

Question 41

Bacteriophages

Answer 41

Bacterial viruses uses host machinary to rep DNA and assemble virus particles lytic or lysogenic cycle
