Virology Flashcards
recombination vs reassortment
recombination: exchanging homologous sections of DNA
reassortment: segmented DNA exchange segments, causing high frequency recombination
complementation
Think of Hepatitis D. Can’t infect with B because mising a protein
phenotypic mixing
genome of virus A coated with surface protein of B. occurs with coinfection. However progeny will be normal (Virus A coat with A DNA)
Live attenuated vaccines
smallpox yellowfever chickenpox sabin's polio MMR Influenza (intranasal)
Also BCG and salmonella typhi
immunity induced by live vs killed vaccines
live: cell mediated AND humoral, no booster
killed: ONLY humoral, need booster
Killed vaccines
Rabies influenza salk polio HAV bordetella
Recombinant vaccines
HBV, HPV
toxoid vaccines
diptheria and tetanus
Conjugate vaccine
HiB
All DNA viruses except _____ are dsDNA
parvoviridae
All DNA viruses are linear except
papilloma, polyoma, hepadnaviruses
DNA viruses
Herpes Hepad Adeno Parvo Papilloma Polyoma Pox (HHAPPPPy)
All DNA viruses are icosahedral except
pox
all DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus except
pox
which viruses are diploid?
ONLY retroviruses
RNA viruses repliate in
the cytoplasm. Except: influenza and retroviruses
Which viruses are infections by themselves (without cell machinery)
positive strand ssRNA and dsDNA (except pox and HBV)
DNA nonenveloped virus
papilloma Adeno parvovirus polyomavirus PAPP
RNA nonenveloped virus
CPR+H calcivirus picornavirus reovirus hepevirus
dsDNA and enveloped
herpes
hepadna
pox
dsDNA enveloped and linear
herpes
pox
dsDNA enveloped and circular
hepadna
dsDNA nonenveloped and circular
papillomavirus, polyomavirus
dsDNA nonenveloped and linear
adenovirus
