Virology Flashcards
cytopathic effect
cell damage from virus
Virion
ss nucleic acid with capsid protein coat
Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors
DNA blocked with primer
AZT
prevent synthesis by binding to base stopping chain
Antiviral agents
formaldehyde, metals, lipids, UV, phenol/halogen, heat
Replication
adsorption/attachment, penetration, uncoating, synthesis, assembly, release
transformation
cell get fucked up, oncovirus (HIV/HPV)
inclusion
Negri body (rabies in neuron), Cowdry body (HSV/VZV)
syncytium
giant multinucleated cell, RSV/HIV/rubeola
Virus culture
tube (2 week)/shell viral (coverslip, centrifuge, incubate 24 hr, monoclonal ab stain), gas exchange, inverted scope
Bacteriophage
transduction, phage synthesis + host DNA, into new host (lyophilized, hydrogel, dry particle, encapsulate in liposomes)
Giruses
Nucleocytoviricota, chimera
Viroid
infectious circular ssRNA nucleic acids, catalytic capability, no capsid, Hep D
Bdellovibrio spp.
GN aerobe, feed on GN protein/nucleic acid
Prion
bovine/transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, sheep scrabie, Creutzfeldt-Jokab disease, 900F for 4 hrs
