UW5 Flashcards
Which regulatory genes of HIV are required for replication?
Tat and rev
what does the HIV gag protein encode?
Structural genes for viron assembly, nucleocapside proteins p24 and p7
What does the HIV pol protein encode?
Reverse transcriptase
What does the HIV env protein encode
envelope glycoproteins gp 120 and gp 41
what are homeobox genes important for?
Sequential development of organs and tissues during embryogenesis
muscle stiffness and cyanotic skin mottling after inhaled anesthetic
Malignant hyperthermia which causes fever and severe muscle contractions after inhaled anesthetics and succinylcholine
Treatment for malignant hyperthermia
Dantrolene which acts on ryanodine receptor to prevent further release of Ca into cytoplasm of muscle fibers
when does acute organ transplant occur?
1 to 4 weeks after transplant. Rejection is mediated by T cell sensitization against graft MHC

hypersensitivity myocarditis
Scant inflammatory cells and intersitial fibrosis on endomyocardial biopsy
Chronic transplant rejection mediated by lymphocytes and antibodies months to years after transplant
