Wu Flashcards
Only type _______ has subtypes
A
Subtype classification based on
Hemagluttin and neuramindase
Gradual changes of hemaglutin and neuramindase. Accumulation of point mutations. Types A and B. Epidemics
Drift
Sudden changes of hemaglutin and neuramindase. Reassortment of genomic RNA segments. Type A. Pandemics
Shift
Alpha 2,6 linked Sialic acids
Human flu virus
Alpha 2,3 linked Sialic acids
Avian flu virus
Trachea bronchial epithelium type 1 pneumocytes
Human flu virus, alpha 2,6
Distal bronchiole epithelium, type 2 pneumocytes
Avian flu virus, alpha 2,3 linked
__________ in cleavage site. Extracellular cleavage only. Viral replication in respiratory tracts
Single basic AA
____ in cleavage site. Intracellular cleavage. Systemic viral replication
Multiple basic AAs
No ________ with influenza
Viremia
M2 inhibitors, inhibiting viral uncoating and replication. Risk of resistant mutants
Amantadine and rimantadine
Neuramindase inhibitor. Reduce risk of pneumonia. Resistance uncommon
Oseltamivir and zanamivir
Neutralizing antibodies directed against _______ to block infection
Hemaglutin
Directed against internal (nucleoprotein, nuclear matrix protein) or surface glycoproteins. May cross rx to different subtypes
Cytotoxic t lymphocytes
