A

kidney, urine

17
Q
  • occurs in 1-10% of renal transplant patients
  • reactivation of BK virus
  • epithelial cells of tubules and collecting duct are infected, large nuclei, interstitial nephritis
  • can result in renal transplant dysfunction and renal failure
A

polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVAN)

18
Q
  • icosahedral, non enveloped dsDNA virus, covalently closed circular
  • replication in the nucleus
  • resist cell culture
A

papillomavirus

19
Q
  • high risk types of papillomavirus (16 and 18) lead to?

- low risk types of papillomavirus (6 and 11) lead to?

A
  • cervical cancer, anogenital cancer

- cervical cell abnormalities that resolve spontaneously, genital warts (condyloma accuminatum)

20
Q

papillomavirus genome:

  • encodes for what proteins?
  • capsid consists of?
A
  • 8 proteins, early or late, early sufficient for transformation, late expressed in productively infected cells
  • capsid consists of L1 and L2, DNA is associated with histones to form chromatin like complex
21
Q

biologic characteristics of papillomavirus:

  • high degree of species _______
  • infects only ___________ of skin or mucosa
  • most common clinical manifestation is ________
A

specificity-no examples of transmission to other species
surface squamous epithelia
warts (benign tumors)

22
Q

papillomavirus replication cycle:

  • initially infects the proliferating ________
  • virus does not replicate in _______
  • viral genome maintained at 20-100 copies in episomal state
  • differentiation into keratinocytes triggers virus into ______ cycle
A
  • basal cells
  • basal cells
  • lytic cycle
23
Q

mechanisms of immune evasion by human papillomavirus?

A
  1. does not replicate in antigen presenting cells, lyse keratinocytes, or have a blood borne phase of replication –> decreased opportunity for immune system to detect HPV proteins and to mount immune response
  2. level of production of E6 and E7 in basal epithelium is low and restricted to cell nucleus: limits immune response
  3. HPV delays production of L1 and L2 capsid proteins until skin cells have terminally differentiated into squamous epithelial cells which are sloughed –> less accessible to immune cells
  4. infected keratinocytes may be relatively less susceptible to CTL lysis than other cell types
24
Q
  • anogenital warts
  • 90% caused by HPV 6 and 11
  • rarely become malignant
A

condylomata acuminata

25
Q
  • common wart
  • hyperkeratotic papules
  • HPV 2 and 4 most common
A

verucca vulgaris

26
Q

potential outcomes of HPV infection?

A

cleared HPV infection, CIN1/2/3

27
Q

integration of HPV genome into the host cell usually results in inactivation of ____

A

E2

28
Q

papillomavirus early proteins:

  • ____ and ____ are involved in genome replication and transcriptional control
  • ______ protein has ATPase activity, helicase activity, and DNA binding activity
A

E1 and E2

E1

29
Q
  • transcriptional activator or repressor, repressed E6 and E7
  • mutations disrupt transformation, replication, and transcriptional regulation
  • not essential for replicatoin but makes viral DNA replication more efficient
A

30
