Lec 7-5 - HIV Flashcards
hiv destroys these cells
cd4+ t lymphocytes
hiv 1 strains
M,O,N
HIV2 comes from blank
monkeys
this enyzme contained in the infecting virion converts positive stranded genomic rna into ds dna before going to the nucleus and integrating randomly into the chromosomes via a hiv blank
reverse transcriptase, integrase
hiv binds via the high affinitiy blank protein to the receptor on the host cell surface, the cd4 molecule
gp120
hiv1 must also bind to two coreceptors to actually enter the cell….called blank and blank
ccr5, cxcr4
for a mature virus, blank is required to cleave polyproteins into proteins required for viral integrity
protease
this gene is structural and requires cleavage by hiv protease
gag
this gne is cleaved by cellular proteases… not hiv proteases
env
not having ccr5 or cxcr4 can lead to blank
immunity from hiv infection
as hiv progresses, it turns into aids and the immune system regulation wanes and the patient becomes more susceptible to blank and blank
infections, malignancies
aids can change every base in hiv by chance alone in a blank time
very short
infection in hiv is usually from things that blank would usually take care of with cell mediated immunity
t cells
hiv progresses faster if blank
higher amount of circulating virus, low cd4 count
