Pathogenesis of Viral Diseases Flashcards
Expression of the viral replicative cycle (partial or complete) in a host cell
Viral infection
May range from no apparent effect to cytopathology with accompanying cell death to hyperplasia or cancer
Cellular response
9 Effects of Virus Infection on the Host Cell
- Cytopathic effects
- Inhibition of host macromolecular biosynthesis
- Changes in regulation of gene
- Appearance of new antigenic determinants on the cell surface
- Cell fusion
- Concept of Permissiveness
- Latency
- Inapparent Infections
- Modification of Cellular Permissiveness
Most easily detected effects of infection with lytic viruses
- Plaque formation
- Inclusion bodies
- Cell degeneration
- Viral proteins has the ability to fuse membranes
3 Macromolecular biosynthesis that is inhibited:
- host protein synthesis
- host DNA replication
- host RNA synthesis
Example of host genome expression
Inducing synthesis of a new protein, interferon
Cellular genes that may be expressed in uninfected cells
- Large T-antigen of papovaviruses
- Adenovirus EIA protein
Modifications of the outer cell membrane
- Cellular morphology changes
- Cells become more agglutinate
- Cell membrane permeability increases
- Antigenic determinants appear on the cell surface
Masses of cytoplasm bounded by one membrane containing hundreds or thousands of nuclei
Giant syncithia
Cell fusion is caused by?
- Glcoproteins in viral envelopes ( glyco P;glyco B and glyco D) in herpes virus envelopes
- F spike glyco P of pamyxovirus
2 concepts of permissiveness
site of predilection
certain viruses can grow only in a few types of cells
2 examples of cells affected by abortive infection
Hela cells
Dog kidney cells
Name the infection. Viruses cannot multiply because some essential step of the multiplication cycle cannot proceed
Abortive infective
Name the infection. Stable relationship between cell growth and virus multiplication
Persistent infections
An effect of virus infection. Persistently infected cells in which no infectious virus formed because the multiplication cycle is completely rested at some stage
Latency
In the latency effect of virus infection what may resume after a period of several weeks to many years, and infectious virus may then be formed and released
Multiplication cycle
Examples of viruses of latency effect
Herpesviruses: HSV 1 & 2, Varicella Zoster, EBV, CMV
Multiplication and gene expression occur at so low level that their presence can only be detected by a very special measure
Inapparent infections
Example of virus in inapparent infections
papovirus BKV, papovirus JCV
Infects most individuals by adolescence and sets up minute and inapparent foci of infection in kidneys and in cells lining the urinary tract
Papovavirus BKV
What inaparent infection is caused by measles
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
What inapparent infection is caused by papovavirus JCV
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
HSV grow on neuroblastoma cells >1000x if the cells are treated by what?
sodium butyrate
What virus multiply only in the cells infected with adenovirus?
Adenoaasociated virus (AAV)
What enables adenovirus to grow in monkey cells?
SV40
Examples of poxvirus that enable VSV to multiply in rabbit cells
- vaccinia
- fibromavirus
What is the host response when there is lysis of cell?
death of organism
What is the cell response when there is exposure without infection
Exposure without attachment and/or cell entry
