Virology Flashcards
Exchange of genes between 2 chromosomes by crossing over within regions of significant base sequence homology
Recombination
Viruses with segmented genomes (influenza) exchange segments. High-frequency recombination. Reason for worldwide influenza pandemics
Reassortment
When 1 of 2 viruses that infect the cell has a mutation that results in a nonfunctional protein. The nonmutated virus “complements” the mutated one by making a functional protein that serves both viruses.
Complementation
Simultaneous infection of a cell with 2 viruses. Genome of virus A surrounded with surface protein of virus B.
Phenotypic mixing
What type of vaccines induce humoral and CMI
Live attenuated vaccines
Live attenuated vaccines
smallpox, yellow fever, VZV, Sabin polio, MMR, intranasal influenza
What vaccines induce ONLY humoral activity?
Killed/Inactivated vaccines: Rabies, injected influenza, Salk Polio, and HAV
Recombinant Vaccines
HBV, HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18
