RNA Viruses Flashcards
All DNA viruses replicate in the cytoplasm except
Inluenza and retrovirus
All RNA viruses have single stranded DNA except
Reovirus and rotavirus
Poliomyelitis replicates where
Anterior horn of spinal cord

Responsible for major outbreaks of influenza
B
Major changes based on the reassortment of segments of the genome RNA
Antigenic shift
Minor changes based on mutation in the genome RNA
Antigenic drift

Main cause of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia
Hepa C
Most common indication for liver transpant
Hepa C
Enzyme that distinguishes retroviridae from all othet RNA viruses
Reverse transcriptase
HIV
Retrovirus
Transmembrane protein of HIV
Gp41
Cone shaped icosahedral core containing the major capsid protein
P24
MA (p17)
directs entry of double stranded DNA provirus into the nucleus is later essential for process of viral assembly
Gene responsible for structure of HIV
Gag
Gene responsible for enzymes in HIV
Pol
Gene responsible for envelope proteins in HIV
Env
Important serologic marker for HIV infection
p24
Most immunogenic region of gp120
V3 loop
Mediates fusion of viral envelope with the cell membrane at the time of infection
gp41
Regulatory gene thy decreases CD4 and class I MHC proteins
Nef nef
Period where there is rapid viral replication but HIV test is negativr
Window
