Q

How is syphilis diagnosed?

A
Serology
Non-treponemal tests are cheaper:
RPR, VDRL
false + w/ hep, mono, SLE
Ag is beef heart cardiolipin

Treponemal - more exp
FTA-ABS

Darkfield microscopy in early dz helpful

Q

Explain the difference between permissive and non-permissive cells

A

Non-permissive: late genes not expressed, leading to transformed cells (can produce tumors!)

Differentiated squamous cells become permissive as rise

In malignant tumors, portion of genome has been integrated, and during that process of integrating E6 and E7, their regulatory protein is not included

Q

Explain warts and skin cells

A

Virus infects basal cells which are non-permissive until mature to surface; become permissive and replicate virus

Virus always resides in basal cels genomes

Q

GC pilus change?

A

PiliS is a silent locus with no promoter, but eventually part of it gets put into PilE (expression locus) - causes lots of antigens
