Q

What are LTRs?

A

integration sites
bind to host TFs (NFkB, Sp-1, TBP)

Integrase recognizes thses sites and cuts host genome here to insert viral genome

strong promoters act as NfkB regulated promoters

Q

Here’s a doosey.

describe the infection cycle

A
  1. Protein at surface of viral particle interacts w/ protein of host cell
    Gp120:CD4
    Gp41:CCR5/CXCR4
    CSCR4: SDF-1
  2. virus enters cell and uncoats
  3. Genomic RNA is dumped into cytoplasm w/ RT, integrase and protease
  4. RT copies genome into dsDNA
  5. I ntegrase inserts dsDNA into host genome (provirus)
  6. Once inserted you get expression of viral genes (turns on trxn and trln material to make viral particle and trxn of viral genome)
  7. Unprocessed genomic RNA is released
  8. Virus buds out through pm to infect other cells

Q

What is the difference between spliced and unspliced RNA?

A

Early in infection–spliced
Splicing of genome> rev, nef, tat> machinery to make viruses (doesn’t end up in particle)

Later in infection- unspliced
Unspliced RNA is translated to make:
1. structural and enzymatic proteins of viral particle
2. viral genome

Q

What is the normal function of CD4 T cells in cellular immunity?

A

IL-2 response: Th1, activates CTLs (CD8+ T cells)
Fights off opportunistic infections

IL-4,5,6 response: Th2, activates B cells to become plasma cells
Parasitic infection

Q

What are common opportunistic infections?

A

Viral:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV, HHV-4)- Mono in person w/ normal immune system, in pt w/ advanced ageà systemic infection

Fungal:
Candida- yeast infection

Q

What is the goal of therapy?

A

Reduce the level of circulating virus

  • keep CD4 counts high
  • lower viral load limiting ability to infect someone else
