POSITIVE | ENVELOPED
- Large, enveloped RNA viruses
- structure has corona/halo - glycoproteins

POSITIVE SENSE RNA | ENVELOPED
- Genus Lentivirus (lengthy)
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – HIV and HIV 2
- RNA to DNA to protein – reverse transcription
- Virion: spherical
- Proteins: two glycoproteins and one phosphoprotein
- Envelope: large, widely spaced, club- or petal-shaped spikes
- Replication: cytoplasm; particles mature by budding into endoplasmic and Golgi
RETROVIRUS
RETROVIRUS
HIV means
human immunodeficiency virus
RETROVIRUS
found worldwide
HIV 1
RETROVIRUS
found in West Africa
HIV 2
RETROVIRUS
called RETRO because of
reverse transcription
RETROVIRUS
HIV targets
helper T cell (CD4+)
RETROVIRUS
1st stage of HIV
primary infection (acute)
RETROVIRUS
symptoms
flu like
RETROVIRUS
clinical latency may last up to
7 - 10 yrs
no symptoms but viral replication continues
RETROVIRUS
CD4 levels is below normal
constitutional symptoms (disease)
RETROVIRUS
last stage of HIV
AIDS
RETROVIRUS
the viral RNA cannot enter the nucleus of the helper T cell unless it is in the form of ____
DNA
RETROVIRUS
reverse transcription happens inside ____
CYTOPLASM
RETROVIRUS
allows the viral DNA to be integrated into the host’s DNA
INTEGRASE ENZYME
RETROVIRUS
cleaves the viral protein to make them functional
PROTEASE ENZYME
RETROVIRUS
long chains of protein are ____ (cannot be used by HIV)
NON FUNCTIONAL
RETROVIRUS | TRANSMISSION
majority of cases
sexually transmitted
RETROVIRUS | PATHOGENESIS & PATHOLOGY
cardinal feature
depletion of CD4 lymphocytes
RETROVIRUS | PATHOGENESIS & PATHOLOGY
- helper T cells that survived
- becomes the reservoir where latency is established
- when exposed to different antigen or the drug therapy is continued, they become activated releasing infectious virus
memory cells
