Exam 2 Flashcards
(108 cards)
What group of pathogens are the #1 cause of the common cold
Rhinovirus
Herpes occur in the….
mucocutaneous junction
Dermatome
is the skin innervated by a particular nerve
HHV4 is also called
Espstein-Bar virus
HHV4 causes
Burkitt’s lymphoma in immunocompromised and infectious mononucleosis
What is the function of reverse transcriptase
(a)RNA-directed DNA Polymerase aka will read ssRNA and make a copy of DNA
(b) RNAase, which will destory own RNA
(c) DNA Polymerase
What is the function of Integrase
Can integrate HIV genome into human/host genome
What is the function of protease
cuts the concatamer peptide
Virus defintion
are obligate intracellular parasite
Growth in virus is defined as
growth in population
Virion
individual viral particle
Nucleocaspid
contain the genome and capsid portion of the envelope virus
naked virus components
genome and protein capsid
Envelope virus components
genome and protein capsid and envelope( has the glycoprotein)
Envelope Virus characteristic
less infectious b/c required a specific host and envelope itself is unstable outside the host
What do naked viruses use to bind/enter the host
capsomere
What do envelope viruses use to bind/enter the host
glycoproteins
range is determined by
host’s proteins
lytic and lysogeny cycle take place in only
bacteriophage!
Mechanism of entry
1.) Direct penetration - complex bacteria
2.) membrane fusion - envelope virus only
3.) Endocytosis- naked and envelope
Direct penetration
Virius enjects gemone into host , method is specific to naked virion
Mechanism of exit
1.) Lysis-
2.) Budding-
3.) exocytosis-
Budding
when new viral participles are made within the cell, glycoproteins are made on the cell membrane.
what is the difference between membrane fusion and endocytosis
Membrane fusion refers only to envelope viruses, while endocytosis refers to both envelope and naked viruses. The cell engulfs the virus
